\nDo not love the world or anything in the world.
\nIf anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
\nFor everything in the world
\n\u2014the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life\u2014
\ncomes not from the Father but from the world.

\n<\/b>St. Stephen\u2019s Lutheran School will offer a Christ-centered education to all students. We will instruct them in the Word of God, educate them in secular subjects, train them to become responsible citizens in our community, and prepare them for their eternal victory in heaven when they die. We will do this by holding Jesus and his love before them each day by appropriately using law and gospel as we instruct and discipline. \u00a0\u00a0Sporting events<\/b> are posted here<\/span><\/p>\n
