It is not outside the purpose of this blog to mention at
least once that I hope to be among the large group of BJU graduates who feel
secure:
They’re secure enough on the one hand not to look for their
identity in a school or movement, because they recognize there is a much
greater Cause—that of Jesus Christ, His kingdom, and His gospel. They don’t
follow Jesus as well as they should, but they’re sure they want to. And they
have experienced God’s grace to help them do so.
They’re secure enough on the other hand not to grasp for position
with others by looking for ways to criticize the school. Not everyone who openly
criticizes does so from self-seeking motives; but the group I’m talking about
is absolutely sure they don’t want that kind of politics. They see enough love
of self in their own hearts, and they despise it—especially when it uses other
Christians to push an agenda.
This is a group of people, I think, who have never thought
their school was perfect, but who continue to support and appreciate BJU; and who honor the many faithful servants who directly and indirectly taught them.
