There were many things that helped make America great. In ad dition to God-fearing leaders, there were strong preachers who not only believed and shared the Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ but also be lieved and taught the Bible to be the Word of God. Today we have a lot of sick churches with sick preachers who cannot help a sick nation. When ever the pulpits are weak, the nation is weak. Throughout history, when ever the prophets of God firmly thun dered out "Thus saith the Lord, " the nations were strong.
The Bible and prayer were also a regular part of the programming of our schools. Prac tically all of our first colleges and universities were founded and staffed by God-fearing, Bible-loving people. Today, we have allowed prayer and the Bible to be removed from our schools and our schools reflect Americafs decline.
In contrast to this downward trend away from God there are many encouraging signs on the horizon. We still have Bible Institutes, Christian colleges and seminaries which stand out like Daniel of old and are turning out men and women with the potential, in the strength of God, to turn this trend upward and save our people. I firmly believe God will honor His promise, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" II Chronicles 7: 14. At Word of Life Bible Institute we believe in God, the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. There was never a day when a sick and dying world had a greater need for what you graduates have to offer. It is our prayer that you will go forth with the same spirit as the founding fathers of our nation, and that your lives will be used of God to reach the lost for Christ and bring God-fearing leadership to itt rightful place.
