Each year I have the privilege to address each class at the Word of Life Bible Institute as a Dean in the yearbook. Here is this years article:
"Legacy: A Life Worthy of Imitation"
Wow! What an incredible year together. Studying through the entire Bible (in numerous ways), ministering in the strangest places and under the craziest circumstances, developing life long, family-type friendships, and growing together in uncomfortable situations has been an adventure to say the least. I want to thank each of you for your part in making this year memorable and exciting.
For each of us, this year is full of memories. As you read this, take a moment to reflect…
What is your favourite memory of WOLBI 2010?
How would you like to be remembered?
How do any of us want to be remembered in life?
We have sat under the teaching of some of the world’s leading theologians and some of the most brilliant minds in Christendom today. What will we do with that legacy? Not a legacy of words alone but a legacy of lives. These men not only taught the Scriptures but before us displayed the incredible richness of God’s Word in the wisdom, grace, and humility produced by long lives lived in Christ’s presence. What a privilege it has been!
Please do not forget the Scriptures you have been taught.
Just as importantly, do not forget the lives that have taught you.
May your memories never fade and be a great teacher for years to come.
To the glory of God may your life shine as a legacy worthy of imitation.
“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;”
