Life is not a straight line leading from one blessing to the next and then finally to heaven. Life is a winding and troubled road. Switchback after switchback.

God is not just showing up after the trouble and cleaning it up. He is plotting the course and managing the troubles with far-reaching purposes for our good and for the glory of Jesus Christ.

I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul

Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.

The goal of Bethlehem College and Seminary cannot be expressed with man as the end point. Christ is the endpoint.

God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
