Right now, all of a sudden, we see that there are many models. I am greatly encouraged that God has kept a remnant during this time – a remnant of faithful Christians that are towering figures in theology, in faithful theology to the Gospel, in the United States; Christian educators that love Christ, and Christian universities that have been really faithful.

These are universities that have gone back to be faithful to the Word of God; to go back to the right kind of faith, which is rooted in God’s revelation and where the theology and evangelistic activities are faithful to the Scripture; going back to the orthodox apologetic.

Our life is about worshiping God and enjoying Him. It’s all about the difference of self-centeredness and being God-centered, on the individual level, in our community, in our university.

Our biggest enemy is self-centeredness that leads us to a life where the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life. That personal relationship with God is so wonderful. That is the creation that God gives us, God’s wonderful creation. And those who live that life will enjoy it.
