The class of 1992 has established a reputation for hard work and spiritual perception during the time that they have been residents of Pottersville. Resident and visiting faculty and staff have repeatedly commented on the outstanding character demonstrated by students in all programs of the institute year. You as members are to be commended. While a good start in life is important, I would like to challenge each of you to also work at continuing this reputation. Fifty years from now I hope that you will be remembered as the class that also finished well. Remember the words of the apostle Paul, “Therefore, my beloved, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toils are not in vain in the Lord” (I Cor 15:5).

When Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, there were many people buried in the ruins. Some were found in cellars, as if they had gone there for security. Some were found in the upper rooms of buildings. But where was the Roman sentinal found? Standing at the city gate where he had been placed by the captain, with his hands still grasping his weapon. There, while the earth shook beneath him; there, while the floods of ashes and cinders covered him, he stood at his post. And there, after a thousand years, was this faithful man still to be found. Indeed what a challenge to us, if our world were to shake beneath us, through calamity, fears, trials and temptations, would we remain faithful? After all is said and done it is faithfulness that God requires of His stewards (1 Corin thians 4:2) We trust that this year of study at Word of Life has helped to equip you to be that faithful stewards. I wish you God’s best. -Joe Shenke 1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such oppostion from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3 May these verses become the sole desire of your heart; RUN THE RACE! Then when the times get tough, CONSIDER HIM! May God bless you as you go out to serve our Lord.
