cornell-missionaryAs part of its sesquicentennial celebration, Cornell University recently spotlighted the institution's former training program for missionaries on furlough, including the course's ties to a global evangelist.

In November, the university's official newspaper paid tribute to the Cornell School for Missionaries, which operated from 1930 to 1964.

"My wife, Judy, and I became aware of Christian Union in its early years on the Princeton campus," shares Dennis Sweeney.

Dennis, Class of 1975, was an economics major at Princeton and a member of Cottage Club, one of the university's storied eating clubs.

how-to-approach-the-BibleIn a society that often values self-indulgence and entertainment over education and study, what should God’s workers do with the Word of Truth?

This question was put forth by Gary G. Hoag in an article for Christian Leadership Alliance.

cs-lewis-desire-work-fulfillmentThere is something about the weekend that we look forward to throughout the work week. Then, as Monday comes, we again settle into our quotidian work schedule and routine. Yet no matter how relaxing the weekend, how long the vacation, or how successful a completed task, we are never truly satisfied with this cycle. The paycheck and minor progress we secure hardly satiate our inner longing for something more. We desire fulfillment.
