JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL – The Christian Intelligence Association is made up of five aspiring theologians who hold firmly to the core belief that Jesus Christ is their savior.

Noah Brown, Sterling Lee, Luke Winters, Xander Enger, and Joshua Gould make up the board of the CIA, and each hold their own individual beliefs concerning God, time, and various other controversies within the Christian faith. While they may disagree with each other on various topics of lower importance, they each agree with each other on the how to accept the gift of salvation that Jesus offers everyone.

The goal of the club is to gain knowledge about the Christian faith through debates that seek the truth graciously. The objective is not to be right or win an argument, as many fruitless fights start that way, but instead to praise God through acquiring more knowledge of his virtue, love and grace.  The members of the board agree that there are many ways to praise God: worship, prayer, liturgy, and teachings. But one that is often neglected is the acquisition of knowledge about our Lord.

But why is further knowledge about our Lord so important? Well, oftentimes people will love others the most when they know them the best. Think of a husband and a wife; what makes them different from when they were dating? They know each other far better than they did when they were dating. They have acquired knowledge of their values, passions, temperament, and feelings. This is just another reason why the Christian Intelligence Association is a thing. It is important for individuals to know God more so that we can love God more. Furthermore, when Jesus was asked what the great commandment in the law was, he replied, “You shall love the Lord with all your heart and with all you soul and with all your mind” in Matthew 22:37. Therefore, it is imperative that we love God not only with our heart and soul, but also our mind. One way people can do this is by joining the Christian Intelligence Association.
