Continue to Rejoice

Dear Friends, With all of our income and expenses now accounted for, I wanted to invite you to give thanks to God with me for his provision over the last academic and fiscal year. The Lord was faithful to supply all of our needs in full, including allowing our Class of ’22 graduates to launch […]


Thank God for the Overturn of Roe v. Wade

When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. —Proverbs 21:15 When I teach ethics courses, one of our class topics is abortion. I show these four short videos to the students to inform them how abortion works: (1) pills, (2) dilation and curettage with suction, (3) dilation and evacuation, and […]


Great Are the Works of the Lord

Last week I had the privilege of attending and speaking at Repairing the Ruins, the annual conference for the Association of Classical & Christian Schools (of which I’m a board member). I come away from this conference encouraged by the green shoots of biblical and Christ-exalting education that are springing up around the country. The […]


To Your Name Give Glory

For decades the people of Bethlehem Baptist Church and its affiliated ministries have prayed and labored on behalf of the unborn. We have marched in the frigid temperatures of Minnesota. We have supported crisis pregnancy centers and cultivated a culture of adoption and foster care. We have voted for life, and lifted up the worth […]


Mulling Müller More

“I feel not at liberty to speak about the state of our funds, as the primary object of the work in my hands is to lead those who are weak in faith to see that there is reality in dealing with God alone.”  George Müller, c. 1840 This shall be my last word to you […]


Pleasant Places Aren’t Places at All

David writes in Psalm 16:6, “The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.” Like David, I reflect on the goodness of God in my life and can see much evidence of His gracious providence. After growing up in a Christian home with two parents who loved me and took me to church regularly, I […]


A New Gathering for Serious Joy

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. Since Pastor John Piper penned these words 50 years ago, untold lives have been transformed by the biblical link between the God-centeredness of God and our longing for lasting happiness. In these days of anxiety and turmoil, we believe that it is […]


Your Prayers Are Needed

The Bethlehem College & Seminary Board of Trustees met from 9am–5pm on Thursday, May 19, 2022. If your reaction to the preceding sentence was: “This is not important for me; my time is valuable; I’m going to quit reading this article,” please invest 3.5 more minutes because it might change the way you pray for […]


Minding the Returns at the End of the Semester

This year at Bethlehem College & Seminary we’ve made it a special point to “mind the returns,” that is, to express our gratitude to God when he has answered our specific prayers. As I come to the end of my first year as President, it seems fitting for me to share with you just some […]


More George

We want you to know what we think we’ve gotten wrong about “We want you to know…” We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity […]
