Commencing Into Ministry

Bethlehem College & Seminary’s 8th annual commencement will be held in just two weeks.  It’s a profound and worshipful service that is such a significant marker for all of us involved.  For the students, of course, it marks not only the end of their studies at our school and a celebratory moment recognizing the accomplishment […]


Reaching the Marginalized

It is easy to remain in the safety of our community. Without any intentional effort, most of us will associate with people who are like us. It’s natural. It’s the way the world works. Despite our society’s emphasis on diversity and inclusion, it is abnormal for the majority culture to relationally engage those on the […]

Envisioning the Future

“Everyone is driven by his view of scripture.” That’s what John MacArthur said when he recently met with the Board of Trustees of Bethlehem College and Seminary on a two day vision retreat.

Speaking and Serving in Africa’s Horn

Husbands, Love Yourselves

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church …” Ephesians 5:25–31 Husbands, how many times have you read this passage or listened to a minister preach it at a wedding? Probably more than you can remember. From this passage, if I asked you what the command “Husbands, love your wives” practically might look like, what would […]


Continuing to Walk in Truth

One of the responsibilities of being president of Bethlehem College & Seminary is to represent the school at conferences and meetings that are strategic for us.  And, as I participate in those activities, I make it a priority to visit with contributors and alums who live in those various places.  This is a source of […]


Announcing a $300,000 Matching Gift

I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. And in this […]
