Dear EC Faculty & Staff,<br />
<br />
As the school year winds down, we have another effort that is just winding up. And I want to encourage each and every one of you to be part of it.<br />
<br />
As you may know, there are many efforts going on now to raise significant funds to substantially upgrade our campus facilities. This will help us both in the recruiting and retention of our students.<br />
<br />
The EC Advisory Council is meeting monthly and is strategizing ways to approach individuals, corporations and foundations for strategic investments in the future of Ecclesia College. God has already blessed those efforts with the funding of a campus “master plan.” This conceptual rendering will be presented to those we believe God may be calling to partner with this ministry. Please join in praying for God’s blessing on these efforts!<br />
<br />
Also, application has been made to a bonding effort that would allow the College to restructure its debt, saving close to $15,000 per year in interest alone. This is good stewardship and would afford us the opportunity to use those savings more effectively in campus upgrades.<br />
<br />
And here is where you come in. EC still has to raise $92,000 to have adequate cash reserves by May 31st for the bond plan to go forward. So, on behalf of the Advisory Council, we are asking you to consider an “end of the school year” gift to Ecclesia College to help raise the needed funds.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://ecollege.webconnex.com/donate.htm">Click on this link to donate</a>.<br />
<br />
Each member of the EC Board of Trustees has already made a gift to this effort. The Board of Regents is being asked to do the same. The Advisory Council is challenging its membership to also help lead the way. Alumni are being contacted. Now it is time for us, the faculty and staff to do join the effort.<br />
<br />
Every gift is important, even if it is only a few dollars! They will add up and will allow us to demonstrate to the Bonding Company that a high number of our Boards, Councils, Faculty, Staff and Coaches, are “on board” with the commitment to grow this college.<br />
<br />
If God leads you to give, here is what we would like you to do. Go to the EC website and click on the <a href="https://ecollege.webconnex.com/donate.htm">“make a donation” link</a>. It will take you to a very easy to follow webpage for you to be able to give online. Under the “category” dropdown menu, click on “General Donation” as these gifts will be counted toward the needed funds. When you complete your donation, you will be asked to recommend a link to your Facebook page (if you have one) and it will show up on your Facebook homepage (not the amount given, just the link back to the EC online donation page). <br />
<br />
To see what it looks like, please check out my Facebook page (Rick L. Grace). People who see the link just might be nudged by the Holy Spirit to get involved with us. In fact, several thousands of dollars have already been given online in this way!<br />
<br />
The time is short but with God’s grace we can get there! Prayerfully consider giving a gift at this time. The future is bright for Ecclesia College as enrollment for the fall is trending upward, and with a successful finding effort, it will be just that much brighter!<br />
<br />
Thanks, and may God bless you as you prayerfully seek serve Him!<br />

<a href="https://ecollege.webconnex.com/donate.htm">From Mike Novak:</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I Support Ecclesia College!<br />
<br />
I want you to know that you WILL make a difference by giving to Ecclesia College. Like a wise business investment, your donation will reap great spiritual rewards in the lives of every student who chooses to attend here. No gift is insignificant...remember the little boy that gave Jesus his two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Thousands of people were blessed that day because of his seemingly insignificant contribution.<br />
<br />
Whether you give to our scholarship fund or a current campus construction project or simply to our general fund, please know that student lives will be impacted by your generosity. And God does not forget your faithfulness to Him as you help fellow believers.<br />
<br />
Please know that we also value your prayers as we daily seek God’s face for direction and understanding. Thank you for supporting the ministry of Ecclesia College.<br />
<br />
Gratefully,<br />
<br />
Mike Novak<br />
<br />
Director of Financial Development, Ecclesia College<br />

I review books for Kregel Academic books, so I receive free copies of their newest publications to review on my blogs.<br />

Dr. Bob Headrick and I were quite impressed with the Kregel charts book on Hebrews. The concept works well with the Pauline epistles as well.<br />

<br />
One of the best ways to study a New Testament book is to prepare charts or lists of important words and topics. There is no substitute for studying the text itself without any intervening commentaries.<br />
<br />
However, as the topic grows in complexity, it is a godsend to find that someone has done a lot of the difficult work already and produced more than anyone could imagine. This is another good example of that approach.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">The first section</span> includes charts on the Roman emperors of the time, political and social order. Additional cultural factors are also listed.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">The second section</span> of the book alone is worth the price of the book, because the author deals with more than the Pauline letters. Anything about Paul is worth charting, and so it is done. Here are some examples:<br />
1. Speeches of Paul in Acts.<br />
2. Paul's Miracles.<br />
3. Paul's prayers.<br />
4. Paul's opponents.<br />
5. Paul's suffering.<br />
6. Traditions of Paul's martyrdom.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Third Section</span><br />
Citations are not easily gathered and sorted. There are many lists of Old Testament quotations and allusions, not to mention intertestmental literature.<br />
<br />
Each Pauline letter has a snapshot chart.<br />
<br />
Key words for each letter are useful for new and advanced students.<br />
<br />
A <i>hapax</i> is a one-time use of a term. One chart lists the <i>hapax legomena</i> in Paul's letters.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">The fourth section</span>, on Paul's theology, is just as rich in detailed charts, which organize Christological concepts, soteriology, and many more topics. One phrase is often overlooked, the "faith of Jesus," and that has its own chart.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Audience</span><br />
Students, pastors, professors, and laity will appreciate this volume and use it as a reference and study book. So much is included that individuals will select what is useful for them.<br />
<br />
I would not hinder the newest or the most advanced Pauline student from buying this book. It will renew our interest in discovering what the Holy Spirit reveals to us in the text itself.<br />

<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">You know those
people in your life that you automatically look up too and you’re not quite
sure why? There’s just something about them that makes you know that they care,
and for me that’s my coach, Samantha Juarez, also known as ‘Mom’. Since the day
that I gave my verbal commitment to play college softball at Ecclesia, she’s
been nothing but helpful and supportive. As a team of all freshman, it takes a
lot of patience to coach, and she is always patient. She sacrifices her time
and gives so much just so not only I, but a team of eleven girls are taken care
of. Mom is the type of lady that wants nothing more but to see you succeed and
be the best you can be in all that you do. Whether you’re on the field and
she’s yelling “Own it 7!”, or we’re goofing off about music and she says “It’s
JT, you have to love him” you know that she cares. Something that stands out to
me about Coach Sam is that she is humble; she isn’t overbearing or a high and
mighty person like some coaches can be, but rather she takes the time to show
us exactly what she wants. </span><br />

Even though her parents were divorced, they maintained a

situation, holidays are split; her and her sister always spent Christmas Eve at
her dad’s and Christmas at her mom’s. She didn’t come from a rich background; “My
dad is a General Manager for a tire store in Tucson called Jack Furrier’s Tire

<br />
She graduated High school in 2005 from Sahuaro High School, where her graduating class was around 500 kids. “I played basketball and softball all 4 years. I only played basketball because my friends played and it kept me in shape for softball.” She attended college and played softball at Midamerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas where she double majored in Athletic Training and Sports management. “I was recruited to play at other colleges all around the country but my goal was to major in Athletic Training and so I made sure I was able to pick a school that I would be able to do that.”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<br />
Her favorite sport to work with in school was football. “It was more exciting to be a part of and there were better injuries.” Sam became interested in Athletic Training when she was in high school due to a sports medicine class that she attended her junior and senior year. Her athletic trainer in high school had Sam and other students shadow her and that’s when she really became interested by the profession. Upon graduating college in 2009, she was hired as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer for Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri in 2010. “I worked on my Masters in Educational Leadership and was working in the Athletic Training room and that year I was able to work with the Men’s soccer team, men’s and women’s basketball, and softball team.” <br />
<br />
Mom first played t-ball when she was about six or seven years old, and her softball career started when she was eight years old as a rec league player. At age eleven, Sam was picked to be on the All-star team for the league. “We went to Nationals that year in San Diego, California and we finished 9th out of 100 teams.” The coach for that all-star team started a club team with the same kids called Impulse; Sam went on to play for him until she was eighteen. <br />
<br />
Impulse traveled all over the country: California, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Las Vegas, Wisconsin, Utah, Colorado, and Oklahoma. “His name was Pete Nielson, he was the best coach I ever had.” He has two daughters that played softball for Marshall University. <br />
<br />
“College was really busy for me. Being an Athletic training major I had to have 1200 clinical hours completed by the time I graduated. Very hard to do while playing a sport. During fall semester, I was a full time athletic training student and during spring I was all softball. Still during fall I had to do softball workouts with the team. Most my days would start at 5 am. I would have softball weights and conditioning till 7am, go to class from 8-10, work in the training room till 11, go to class till 1, then to back to the training room to get ready for practices for whatever sport I was covering at the time. Since I wouldn’t be able to go to softball practice for the fall I would do individual workouts with my head coach a couple times during the week. On top of all that, I worked at Starbucks to pay for house rent. My favorite memory from college was my senior year we had senior day and my dad flew in for the game. I didn’t hit any homeruns my senior year until senior day. Having my dad there to see it was probably the best thing ever. I signed the ball and gave it to him.” <br />
<br />
After it’s all said and done, mom isn’t just a superhero coach; she’s just a young woman living life. She loves to go fishing, being out on the lake, and watching NASCAR on Sunday afternoons. “I’m so busy every day I just want to do things that involve me sitting and not having to do nothing.” <br />
<br />
Coach Sam is a chill, fun, yet serious, hard working woman who pushes her team to be the best that they possibly can be. She, like her mom, works hard and expects others to do the same. I really look up to Mom on and off the field, she will never know what she means to me, but the next three years here will be a lot easier knowing I can look up so someone like Coach Sam.<br />

SPRINGDALE - Oren Paris III, president of Ecclesia College in Springdale, isn’t boastful of his fundraising abilities. He’ll be the first to say that it’s a learning process he feels he’s only just begun.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“If I were really good at this, we probably wouldn’t be talking about it - ’cause it’d be done,” Paris said laughing in his campus office Tuesday.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
But Paris, who succeeded his father, the college’s founder, as president in 1997, knows he doesn’t have the luxury of trying to wish the problem away.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Ecclesia, a private Christian college that began as a one-year ministry-training program in 1975, will soon begin straining both its classroom and student housing capacities, if recent growth is a predictor of future needs.</div>

Paris and Ecclesia registrar Donna Brown said enrollment jumped from 27 full-time students in February 2005, when the college received its first accreditation from the Association for Biblical Higher Education, to a full-time equivalent enrollment of 180 for the fall 2012 academic semester. The college has about 10 accredited degree programs. Paris projected a full-time equivalent enrollment of 200 for the fall 2013 semester.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“We’ll be running out of all space, really,” Paris said. “We’ll be running out of dining space, classroom space, administrative space, library space. It all happens at the same time.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
According to Brandi Hinkle, communications coordinator for the Arkansas Department of Higher Education, the department has certified four programs at Ecclesia, including an associate of general studies and bachelor’s degrees in business administration, emergency management and sports management.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Mike Novak, Ecclesia’s financial-development officer and an adjunct instructor in theater, said although the college does have students from across the United States, most of the college’s students have historically come from Arkansas and nearby states - Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“The way we’ve always done our marketing, it’s been a low-key, low-cost effort,” Novak said. “The college is advertised through word of mouth, person to person, often during a student’s visit to a new church - those tend to be closer, geographically.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Ecclesia also hosts about 20 international students from areas such as Central America and Africa. Novak said this was a result of the college’s emphasis on mission work. Some Ecclesia students participate in missionary trips abroad during the summer months, which earns them community-service credit with the college, Novak said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Ecclesia is one of only seven “work-learning schools” throughout the country, in which students provide labor for the institution to offset the cost of tuition, which ranges from about $15,250 to $20,250 annually for a full-time student, depending on housing and meal plans.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Ecclesia students are required to work a minimum of 90 hours each semester, performing duties ranging from landscaping and food service to administrative work, and are paid between $9 and $12 an hour toward the cost of their tuition for their work.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The school is now several hundred thousand dollars into an effort to expand its campus enough to cope with annual growth, including a 4,800-square-foot classroom facility that is estimated to cost between $300,000 and $400,000, and renovation of two off-campus rental properties, owned by the college, which Paris said will be converted for student housing.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Paris also must navigate his campus’s architectural equivalent of a white elephant - a 68,000-square-foot steel structure that has sat unfinished for more than a decade, only a few hundred yards from the college’s central administrative building.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Paris said the project began in 2000, when his plan was to expand the private Christian kindergarten-through-12 school then operating on the 200-acre property. Paris said Ecclesia spent about $500,000 to lay the foundation and erect the building’s steel frame and roof, and that construction halted immediately after those steps were completed.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Shifting circumstances have kept construction at a standstill ever since. After the structure was erected, Ecclesia administrators decided to get out of kindergarten-through-12 education altogether and focus solely on higher education, Paris said. Shortly thereafter, an Ecclesia board member who had promised to donate a significant amount of money toward the building’s completion died, and the funding never materialized.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Paris said Nabholz Construction Services, which had completed the first phase, estimated a total cost of $10.5 million to complete the building. While Paris would prefer to have the building finished, the scale of the expenditure has forced him to prioritize smaller, more fiscally manageable projects, such as the 4,800-square-foot classroom facility.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“We just got the building permit [recently],” Paris said. “We need it this fall. But that’s a $400,000 bite we’re taking there, compared to a $10.5 million cost estimate from Nabholz. Some schools would probably look at that and think it’s no big deal - for us, that’d be the biggest amount of money we’d ever had to raise.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“But by 2015, I anticipate we’ll need to be in that big building,” Paris said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Ecclesia student council chairman Missie McClarty, a freshman who first became involved with Ecclesia through its home-school preparatory academy as a high school sophomore, said that while the classroom seating situation was tolerable, any growth could make the situation uncomfortable.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Classroom-wise, we’re not too bad, but I know in the future we’re going to be crowded,” McClarty said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
McClarty originally experimented with living on campus at the beginning of the 2012 fall semester, but said she returned to live with her parents after three weeks, rather than initiate a student loan to pay to live in one of the college’s family-style housing facilities.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
McClarty said the 2012 academic year is the first in whichthe college has had a student council, and that she and her fellow council members are working to expand social options on the campus.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Just little things to give students something to do besides study and work,” Mc-Clarty said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
McClarty said she chose to attend Ecclesia after considering a number of other Christian colleges popular with home-school graduates.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“I was thinking and praying about what I wanted to study,” McClarty said. “The one day, when I was on the Ecclesia campus, I just felt God speaking to my heart, saying, ‘This is where you’re supposed to go.’At first I though it was kind of crazy, but I love the environment and I love the students. We’re like a big family.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Budgets for colleges such as Ecclesia - which has a total annual operating budget of about $2 million, according to Paris - are much smaller than major universities. The University of Arkansas’ Fayetteville campus, for example, spent more than $56.8 million on new construction and renovations in fiscal year 2011 alone, and another $97.4 million in fiscal year 2012. Steve Voorhies, the university’s media relations manager, said the campus has invested more than $1 billion in construction since 2003.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
By contrast, Paris calculates the college will need to raise $59 million over the next 10 years to keep pace with the school’s growth. That amount would provide needed classroom and administrative space, as well as athletic facilities and housing - although of a considerably more humble nature than Paris said he’s seen at large universities.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“I’m not trying to have a climbing wall and a nursing station and ice cream on every floor,” Paris said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Paris said he has begun quietly approaching potential donors, but is unsure if or when he wants to cultivate an official capital campaign.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px;">
“Some folks I’ve been with say, ‘You can call it a capital campaign, but don’t announce it until you’ve largely completed it,’” said Paris, who indicated he hoped to develop considerable momentum before going public with specific donation requests. “You use the capital campaign as a big promotion when you can already see the finish line.”</div>

<div>
A sixth-generation Arkansan, Tom Cotton was born and raised in Dardanelle on his family’s cattle farm. Tom graduated from Dardanelle High School and went on to graduate with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After completing law school, Tom clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals and then entered private practice, where he concentrated in labor, employment, and constitutional law in cases at all levels of state and federal court.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yet ever since the September 11 attacks, Tom had felt called to serve his country in uniform, and he ultimately left his law practice to join the Army. Tom declined offers for a direct commission as an Army JAG, volunteering instead to serve as an infantryman. Tom spent five years on active duty. He deployed to Baghdad in 2006 as a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne. In Baghdad, Tom was responsible for a 41-man air-assault infantry platoon and planned and led daily combat patrols.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Following his Iraq deployment, Tom was assigned as a platoon leader at The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery, where he was responsible for conducting military honors funerals for veterans from World War II to today’s war. In 2008, Tom volunteered to return to the front lines and deployed to eastern Afghanistan as the operations officer of a provincial reconstruction team, where he planned and resourced daily counterinsurgency and reconstruction operations for an 83-member joint and interagency team.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tom’s military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and Iraq Campaign Medal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Following his active-duty service, Tom worked as a management consultant for McKinsey and Company. As a businessman, Tom has advised some of America’s most respected companies on business strategy, operations, finance, and marketing. His industry experience includes agribusiness, health care, oil and gas, food processing, insurance, and aerospace.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tom has appeared on numerous television and radio programs as an expert with firsthand knowledge of America’s policy in Afghanistan. These appearances include Fox & Friends, Larry King Live, CNN American Morning, The Hugh Hewitt Show, and The Laura Ingraham Show.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tom resides in Dardanelle, where he enjoys working on the family cattle farm, spending time with his family and friends, and running marathons.</div>

<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
The Tea Party may be losing steam and the GOP continuing to find itself in disarray but newly elected Arkansas Republican Rep. Tom Cotton won’t be deterred from his desire to make a change in Washington.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“As I watched the drift in Washington, during the first two years of the Obama administration, I thought again we face a perilous moment,” Cotton told NBC’s Chuck Todd while appearing on<em>The Daily Rundown</em>. “This time it’s the debt crisis.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Cotton, a Harvard graduate, and Army veteran, won the vacant seat in Arkansas’ 4<sup>th</sup> district after the retirement of incumbent Democrat Mike Ross. He won the primary by 20 points with support from the <a href="http://www.clubforgrowth.org/aboutus/" style="color: #3399cc; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Club for Growth</a>, an advocacy group focused on economic and tax issues.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“When our incumbent congressman announced his retirement I thought that I could perhaps provide some of that leadership here in Washington,” Cotton said. “I wanted to come to Washington and fight for the same freedoms here that I did in Iraq and Afghanistan.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
The congressman quickly became a part of what <em>Politic</em>o dubbed the <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/behind-the-curtain-the-hell-no-caucus-85872.html" style="color: #3399cc; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">“hell no caucus”</a> but insists that won’t be his primary role.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“I don’t think that will be my role in the Republican conference but I think the Congress as a whole must say a “hell no” to Barack Obama a little bit more,” Cotton said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Todd asked why Republican congressional members should say no to the president after he easily won a second term in office. Cotton insisted that it’s not about politics but about policy. He remained adamant that Washington’s problems stemmed from “too much spending and too little growth,” insisting that Congress needs a pro-growth solution.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
“To get the country back to a balanced budget and to get the economy growing, we don’t need to increase taxes further,” Cotton said. “What we need to do is reduce our spending and enact pro-growth policies to get economic growth back up to three or four percent.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Stressing his concerns about the upcoming debt ceiling showdown, Cotton said, “We can prioritize payments on a monthly basis to ensure there’s no default [on the sovereign debt] and then we can have the hard negotiations necessary to get spending back under control.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Cotton is open to compromise as the new Congress begins its first month in office and is especially looking forward to working alongside fellow freshman, Senator Elizabeth Warren, his most “rigorous professor” at Harvard. Mentioning Bill Clinton’s compromises on welfare reform and the balanced budget agreement, he argued that Obama hasn’t acted like his previous predecessors and that needs to change.</div>

The snow arrived in the morning, February 20th. A snowball landed, inside. Students looked out over the snowy landscape from the balcony on the Dome.<br />
<br />
Sleet is falling on Thursday, but the worst of the 18-state storm seems to be staying north.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today is Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s birthday. Since my book on him was published three years ago, fascination with the young German pastor continues to grow. The interest is so great I’ve recently been asked to do a ten-city Bonhoeffer tour.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to ask myself: Why are so many people intrigued by Bonhoeffer? The answer, I believe, is that the message of Bonhoeffer's life is hugely relevant today—especially when it comes to the growing threats against religious freedom.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thoughtful people see the handwriting on the wall: First there's the HHS mandate, which demands that religious organizations buy insurance that covers abortion-inducing drugs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then there's the case of Pastor Louie Giglio, who was forced to step down from giving the benediction at President Obama's inauguration. Why? Because many years ago, he preached a sermon saying homosexual practice was wrong.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you work in corporate America and hold to the traditional Judeo-Christian view of marriage, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Or you might be fired or have your business boycotted.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now, the Boy Scouts may finally be yielding to the enormous pressure put on them to allow opening gay men to participate in Scouting—including as Scout leaders.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In effect, the state and the culture at large are seeking to compel us to put aside our religious beliefs. If we don't do something now, it will be too late.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And this is why Bonhoeffer is so relevant today. Please listen to these words from my old boss and dear friend Chuck Colson, “Under persecution, Bonhoeffer discovered that, even though God's grace is freely given, it also extracts a high cost. It was costly grace that led Bonhoeffer to continue teaching and preaching the Word of God even though the Nazis tried to suppress his work. Costly grace led Bonhoeffer to stand against a turncoat church that mixed Nazi doctrine with Christian truth....Costly grace led Bonhoeffer to attempt to smuggle Jews out of Germany, even though it led to his arrest...Along with other faithful believers, Bonhoeffer signed the Barmen Declaration, which boldly declared their independence from both the state and a co-opted church.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I said, today is Bonhoeffer's 107<sup>th</sup> birthday. And were he alive today and living in America, costly grace for him would likely mean preaching what the Word of God teaches about human sexuality--even when activists and their allies in government try to suppress his work and attack his church. Costly grace would mean standing against churches that mix radical new doctrines about marriage with Christian truth. Costly grace would mean standing up to a government attempting to force him to buy health insurance that violates his beliefs—even if it led to his arrest.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And costly grace would, I believe, lead him to sign the Manhattan Declaration in defense of human life, marriage, and religious liberty, just as he signed the Barmen Declaration, which I quote at length in my book.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I must say that Chuck Colson had the Barmen Declaration in mind when he co-authored the Manhattan Declaration. Chuck saw many parallels between what the church faced in Nazi Germany in the thirties and what faithful Christians are facing today in America.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So let me ask you—are you willing to count the cost and sign the Manhattan Declaration? If you visit <a href="http://www.breakpoint.org/bp-home" style="border: 0px none; color: #8d0073; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">BreakPoint.org</a> and click on this commentary, you'll find links to both the Manhattan Declaration and to my Bonhoeffer tour where I’ll have the opportunity to unpack a lot of these ideas.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #010101; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today—68 years after his death—will we, like Bonhoeffer, call on the Church to wake up and be the people of God, no matter the cost?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The vision of the National Christian College Athletics Association is:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“To produce champions of Christ-like character while providing an environment that fosters academic and athletic excellence on a regional and national level.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The NCCAA nationally recognizes teams that have a cumulative team GPA of at least a 3.4 as a NCCAA Scholar Team. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ecclesia College Royals baseball team, comprised of all freshman and one upperclassman, have put themselves on track to receive this honor; ending the Fall 2012 semester with a team GPA of exactly 3.40. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I knew we would, because we are just that great, said freshman Daniel Authement, tongue-in-cheek. He was named to the Fall Semester Dean’s List.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When asked about what this accomplishment meant, Head Coach Hardie responded </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“For us, at Ecclesia, we aren’t just student athletes, we are student worker athletes. To come away with a 3.4 with all the work outs in the fall and the working, that’s a great testament to our guys, especially with being all freshman.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With any team this is a great accomplishment, but with a team of all freshman, it says a lot about the dedication of these young men.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s pleasing to know that we are striving for excellence not only on the field but also in the classroom, said freshman Brandin Fry. He was also named to the Fall semester Dean’s List)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“This shows me that our team cares enough not only about their sport, but also this school and their grades. We have to have the grades to play. To be a part of this family you have to get it done in the classroom, and we have, ” observed freshman Caleb Kelley, also on the dean's list.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The students offer congratulations to the Ecclesia College Men’s Baseball team on this accomplishment, and wishing them the best this season, and hoping their studies continue to be strong.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/events/bio.aspx?speaker_id=2">Ken Ham, from Answers in Genesis</a> and the <a href="http://creationmuseum.org/">Creation Museum</a>, gave a presentation at the Hammons Center in Rogers, Arkansas about the proposed full-size replica of <a href="http://arkencounter.com/">Noah's Ark</a>, planned in the near future.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The plan is to use this replica as a learning center about the Genesis Flood and its relationship to the Gospel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Kay Strickland is on the Ecclesia College Advisory Board, and Dr. Gregory Jackson teaches English composition at the school. The Jacksons have been married 43 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All of the concerns described by Ham are addressed by the school's foundation upon the inerrancy of the Scriptures. As Ham said in his presentation, the failures of our society are directly related by the refusal of many churches to teach the truth and authority of the Word of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Asked about the new dynamic equivalency paraphrases of the Bible, Ham said about the NIV in particular - "It has a lot of things wrong in Genesis, which is a problem when culture is allowed to chabnge the Bible. That is the problem - the culture affecting the Bible."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">The swelling legions of homeschoolers poke a subtle rebuke at America’s ever expanding nanny state. Under both parties, </span><a class="exit_trigger_set" href="http://www.forbes.com/places/dc/washington/" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Washington</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">has systematically invaded private spheres and co-opted public services historically performed by local bodies. But a spontaneous groundswell of freedom minded folks has continued America’s rich inheritance of rugged individualism.</span><br />

The God-fearing, flag-waiving, gun-toting homeschool crowd embodies the American spirit of mutual self-reliance. You won’t encounter a more neighborly bunch. Their children thrive without government “help.” Their support networks blossom sans the state’s sanction. Meanwhile, taxpayers waste a fortune securing abysmal academic results. In 2012, SAT scores fell to their lowest level since tracking began. As spending soars, assessment scores plummet.</div>

The modern homeschool movement comes largely by Christians aghast over an academic establishment overrun by progressives. Schools long ago became laboratories for instilling statism and distilling politically correct groupthink. Values clarification anyone? With public education increasingly geared toward multicultural agitation against America’s godly heritage, many parents resolved to safeguard the hearts, souls and minds of their young.</div>

The ranks of homeschoolers are rising rapidly across every social strata, faith and ethnicity. While many families lack sufficient means for someone to stay home, it’s not generally those affluent enough to afford exclusive parochial education. The highest homeschool participation appears in households with incomes ranging from<a class="exit_trigger_set" href="http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d11/tables/dt11_040.asp" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">$25,000 to $75,000</a>. The homeschool community reflects a cross-section of Americans; the children of truck drivers and lawyers, whites and blacks, rich and poor, Christians and unbelievers.</div>

What is civilization save passing to posterity the accumulated prosperity, cultural achievements, customs and mores of our forbearers? In the American context this includes self-reliance. Parents are the primary medium for rearing children. Should liberty endure, America must restore her multi-generational perspective, lately befuddled by Leviathan permeating life.</div>

We have two principle tutors, lessons learned via individual experience and the wisdom amassed by our ancestors. Progressives have purposely uprooted America’s multi-generational perspective for many decades. Woodrow Wilson, who prior to the White House presided over Princeton, wrote, “The use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible.”</div>

<i>Broadcast</i> is a term first used for sowing seed. We began using it for radio and TV, but now it is returning as a way to spread the Word of God across the world, following the Parable of the Sower and the Seed (Matthew 13 and Mark 4).<br />

Isaiah 55 is clear. God's Word is never broadcast in vain. The Word always accomplishes His divine purpose. The Holy Spirit always accomplishes His purpose and always prospers His work through the Word.<br />
