Royalty is a different sort of authority than we are used to in America. In our country our leadership is elected by the people. Their power is limited and temporary and on a regular basis our public leaders subject themselves to the will of the people and their power is only retained by popular vote. The title of King is neither limited nor temporary. A king's power is granted to him by the authority of God and once the blood of royalty flows in your veins it can never be removed.
I like to think of that in regards to being a Bethel Life King. Many people come and go through our school for many reasons. But as far as I am concerned once you are a King, you will always be a King. I see children around town that have left BLS and when I see them I don't think "There goes a kid that used to go to Bethel." Instead I think "There goes a King!". Maybe it is the indelible spiritual imprint our school makes on the children who we serve. Maybe it is the confidence of character we instill or the discernment we inspire but one thing stands true, Kings are different than the common man and the difference is lasting.
