As a former business professor, l'll let you in on a little secret: Professors get just as excited about the start of a new semester as you do. Sure, there's always a grumpy teacher in the mix, but the majority of us have big plans for the upcoming year. We have new teaching techniques to try. We've written new material. And we have many new students to meet. We, too, even buy new school supplies and dream big. So, how can we teachers and students alike prepare ourselves for what God has in store for us in the upcoming school year? … [Read more...]

Forever Young … and Learning
Recently I wrote an article for Threads which addressed the emphasis the Bible puts on "doing good" in life. I then provided ideas of how to do good for others in the modern world. (You can find the article by clicking HERE.) I completed the same editing process with this article as I do with any piece of writing before I submit for publication: I reread, proofed, and revised it countless times. However, it wasn't until after the article was published that I realized basically all of my so-called how-to-do-good ideas were actually my … [Read more...]
One Student Can Start a Movement
Most of the students in the small province would choose to attend any other university in the country. Their local university, located on a Southeast Asian island, is neither prestigious nor acclaimed. However, it holds the potential to be the starting point of a Gospel movement to sweep across the entire province and, ultimately, the entire island. While this university might sound like an unlikely place to begin such a movement, many of the students, who come from faraway villages or neighboring provinces, return to their homes … [Read more...]
LifeMatters :: The Messiah Suffered for Us // Isaiah 53:4-9
Have you ever had that gnawing feeling in your gut when you've done something wrong? Perhaps, you had been caught and awaited the consequences of that action? I remember one of those times when I cheated on a French exam. The teacher caught me and pulled me out of class. That gnawing in my gut was not for fear of the consequences I would reap with the teacher; rather, it was what I knew awaited me at home when my dad found out. In Isaiah 53, seven hundred years before Jesus was born, we read about how He would take the punishment … [Read more...]

LifeMatters :: The Promise of God // Jeremiah 29:10-14
Out of His great love for them, God promised His people that they would not always live in bondage. Jeremiah 29:10-14 declared this promise for the exiled people-that God would bring them back to their homeland where they could be restored to a right relationship with Him. Included in this passage are characteristics of those who received the promise. They would pray, call to Him, and seek the Lord with all their heart. God promised this restoration because He is sovereign and He wanted to restore His people. Here, God reminded the … [Read more...]
10 Ways to Do Good
“Then God said, ‘Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness” (Genesis 1:3-4). The theme of “goodness” persists throughout the Bible. Nevertheless, taking time to recognize and honor this theme's prevalence in the Bible can often be a refreshing and rejuvenating reminder of what God has called mankind to do: good. The first chapter of Genesis describes God's creation of Earth as good. In John 10:11, Jesus explains, "I am the … [Read more...]
