PRESIDENT JACK WYRTZEN
CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 1984 . . .
I am sure there were times when you wondered if this year would ever end, and now, suddenly, it has ended. Life is a lot like that. This should point up the urgency of making each day count: "The Night cometh, when no man can work,” (John 9:4); and "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil,” (Hph. 5:16). "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom,” (Psalm 90:12). "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand,” (Psalm 37:23,24). "I know the plans 1am planning for you. They are plans of blessing and not of calamity; to give you a future and a hope,” (Jeremiah 29:11, Rotherham Translation). The proof of how well you have adapted to the teaching of The Word and the biblical principles set forth here at the Bible Institute will be found in the way you apply yourself in the days ahead. When the ways of God become our ways, we become firmly grounded and will not be attracted to the ways of the world. You will have to be on your guard against false teachers who would seek to lead you astray. Whether it be some whim of doctrine, the charismatic or ecumenical movements, or devilish humanism that has so engulfed the world, you need to stand fast in the faith. "Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," (Jude 3). Remember, even great leaders have fallen, so keep your eyes upon our risen Lord. I have been praying for you while you were here and will continue to pray as you go. We are all apart of the same family; you are always welcome at my home. God Bless you. Yours On the Victory Side,
Jack Wyrtzen Philippians 2:16
