Delight to have @WillyRice on campus @HLGuniversity
It was a great day with an excellent sermon in chapel. Look for the podcast to drop next week.

Only one religion is based on a single, testable, historical event. If you haven’t at least considered the evidence for the resurrection, NOW is the time.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded... Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
James 4:8, 10 CSB

President @RobertJMatz @HLGuniversity reports to @mobaptists Exec Board on victory in DEd case, protecting religious freedom for all church-affiliated schools. With atty @jrwhitehead
This settlement is a necessary victory, not a complete one. Students were harmed. Churches were put at risk. The fact that the University had to sue at all is a reminder that religious freedom requires constant vigilance.
A lawsuit brought by Hannibal-LaGrange University against the U.S. Department of Education was settled last week after the DOE issued new guidance making the lawsuit unnecessary.

This case was about if Christians would be free to educate the next generation in faithfulness—without the government forcing them to cut ties with the very churches that make the University’s mission possible. HLGU stood because standing was required.

Excited to jump into this new volume on the person and work of the Word by @MusingsOnChrist
Thankful that @BHAcademic is providing systematic resources that are accessible to every Christian.

The secret is not finding a perfect church. It is staying long enough to love the imperfect one.
Please pray with us that God would move powerfully @HLGuniversity this week.
Each fall @HLGuniversity I have the privilege of welcoming new students to our university underneath the historic arch and then leading graduates out back under this arch each spring. It's going to be a great year!
This is a pivotal moment—not only for HLGU, but for the principle of religious self-governance in American higher education. Christian universities should not be forced to choose between their faith and their future.
We will not stand by as federal policy erodes the very foundations on which our institutions are built.
Why I’m asking the Department of Education to protect religious liberty at Christian universities

Headlines I read this morning: “markets sink” (AP), “markets implode” (AP), “stocks set for another miserable day” (CNN), and my personal favorite “economic nuclear winter” (BBC).
I checked on what historically have been my very best investments. Not a penny lost.
"I'm going to be a lot more intentional about sharing the Gospel."
Love hearing these @HLGuniversity students report about sharing the Gospel over Spring Break.
