Andrew Murray Quote for the Week of September 29th 2013
"In the Church of our day it is to be feared that the great majority of believers have no conception of their calling to be perfect. They do not have the slightest idea that it is their duty not only to be Christian, but to be as eminently spiritual, as full of grace and holiness, as it is possible for God to make them."
Top 10 Reasons it was great to go to Bible College in the 90s
I went to the 20th reunion of my Bible College graduating class this past weekend.
Hearing and seeing and encountering the ups and downs of everyone I spent those 3 "hot house" years with affected me more than i thought it would.
It was a wonderful, inspiring, tragic and powerful day. Thanks to the folks at Tyndale UC from putting it on. Great stuff.
Top Ten Reasons It Was Great to Go to Bible College in the 90s
10. It was affordable. 3 years at OBC will cost what roughly 1 year of university will cost my son today all in. No kidding. It was more expensive than university at the time, but looking back it was the best $30,000 my parents ever helped me save and that I ever spent.
9. It was confident. I graduated from within the Bible College movement at the height of their enrolment nationally. They knew what they were, where they had come from, who they were serving and how to get the job done. Sure, sure there were concerns and lots of questions. But OBC had confidence in their mission and method and it showed. You could transfer your credits to U of Waterloo but that was about it and that didn't worry any of them cause what they were doing - they knew- would stand up to anyone's scrutiny; academic or otherwise.
