“Live Your Life as a Gift Dedicated To God”

That was stated by Sheldon Nord, Ph.D. as the President of Corban University, in conversation with UPH Media Relations team while visiting UPH. ?Everything we do, we should do to the glory of Jesus Christ. Not only pastors and missionaries are full time Christian workers. If you are a nurse, and you are Christian, then you are a Christian nurse, and you have an obligation to integrate God?s words into your nursing profession. There is no such thing as part time Christian?, Mr. Sheldon Nord said. ?The reality is everyday you are worshiping Christ with how you live your life?, he continued.
