When I think about the 2019-20 class, I am reminded of Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” So often through this year we, together, have had to lay down our wants and desires so that we can make much of Jesus, prefer a brother or sister, earn the right to be heard and share the Gospel. It does not end here; this is only the beginning. As you move on from the campus, my prayer for you is that you will continue to remember Who truly lives who truly has died. Let the overarching anthem of your life forever ring out, “Not I, but Christ Who lives in me.”

Thank you for your grace and patience as we navigated through our first year of Research and Writing together. As you move on from Word of Life, I trust you feel more confident not only in your writing, but in your overall ability to effectively communicate from a biblical worldview. In his book, New Morning Mercies, Paul David Tripp says, “The character of any person’s life is not shaped by two or three grand, big moments of every day life. A person’s character is formed in ten thousand little, mundane moments of everyday life. It’s the character that is formed in those little moments of life that determines how you think and respond in the few, big moments of life that you encounter.” When you are challenged to make decisions in those “ten thousand little, mundane moments” as well as in the “few, big moments”, always determine what is true based on Scripture and live according to those truths.
