"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 5:14-16

By Wayne Grudem
From Christian Union: The Magazine
I believe that Christians should seek to influence civil government according to God's moral standards and God's purposes for government as revealed in the Bible (when rightly understood).

By Timothy George
From First Things
Timothy George, the founding dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University, recently wrote a piece on Christian unity and cultural engagement for First Things.

Prayer Requests

Students were able to pray for him and were so grateful for his encouragement. Please pray for more professors like him at each of the universities where Christian Union operates.
Please pray as Christian Union's ministries at Penn and Cornell search for new office space. Ideal office space would be close to campus and offer both offices and meeting areas, but such spaces are often hard to find.
