Thankful // Thursday // School
I didn't finish before Novemeber ended, but that does not mean I lack gratitude, rather I have gratitude for a great number of things and I could not choose just one for the final blog. I have finally decided that the forth and final thing I am going to write about is my school.
I am incredibly grateful for a school that perpetuates a Christian culture on campus. What does that mean: "perpetuate a Christian culture on campus"? It means that my school not only allows prayer on campus, but encourages it, participates in it, and elicits it. The campus is campus where we can feel free to discuss ideas with other students who share our beliefs and with those who don't. We participate in the Great Conversation daily through our lectures, discussions, and writings inside and outside of class. Our staff and faculty fight for a culture of life on campus. We celebrate our differences and our similarities. Our campus is one that encourages Truth over "tolerance" and morality over popularity. Our campus is respectful of other beliefs and cultures. We gladly accept any who are seeking Truth, beauty, and romance. Our campus is Baptist not only in name, but in spirit. The collective staff and faculty consistently perpetuate a Christian culture on campus through their everyday interactions with students inside and outside the classroom. Our professors are constantly seeking to improve themselves and others both mentally and spiritually.
I am thankful for our school because our school is dynamic. It takes into account the opinions and desires of its students. The changes they make are not on the whims of cultural fads, but based on improving ourselves while keeping a high moral standard. The school is dynamic, but it does not compromise its integrity to keep up with the nonsense of the world. It uses the Word as the basis for its standards and decisions.
