Faculty Q&A

In the New Covenant, as we await the New Heavens and the New Earth, the present is all about the church. If Christ is coming to save His bride, then everything that I work towards, teach, think about, and write about is “For the Church”!

Because we are “For the Church”! This vision aligns perfectly with my reading of the New Testament, and I could not ask for a better place to live and work out my own calling in light of that.

I am most encouraged that they recognize that there are tough waters ahead and they are readying themselves for whatever form of martyrdom they may be called to in their particular lives of service.
