Packing for college can be a long stressful process. Although looking around your room at home and deciding what to bring, what to buy and what to leave can seem overwhelming, the key is to take the big move one step at a time. To help you make decisions along the way, we have provided

Captain James Clark and the men of the United States Marines, 2nd expeditionary corps, were sent to the jungles of Burma in the late 1920s. They were on a recon mission, ordered to scout out the jungle and return with intel on the land, inhabitants and potential obstacles. During their mission, everything that could have

For almost 100 years, Elim Bible Institute & College (EBIC) has been an oasis, a spring of spiritual refreshment through teaching, missionary fervency, worship, Pentecostal/charismatic influence and leadership. Its name comes from this inviting passage in Exodus: “Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there

As a book publisher, I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a chair on the market that helps me to maintain the good posture that prevents back pain resulting from prolonged sitting. So, I cobbled one together by repurposing a few off-the-shelf products that, as

When I teach the Bible, one message I love to share is that God loves you, and He has an amazing plan for your life. He’s always with you, and He will never leave you or forsake you. In every circumstance of your life, when you cry out to Him with a sincere heart, God

Critical thinking is essential to a well-rounded college education. Students must be challenged to know not only what they believe but also why they believe it and why it is important. They must be challenged to question stereotypes and to evaluate everything they hear, read and observe without becoming a cynic. Reason and investigation are

I didn’t set out to become an advocate for home education. I seriously didn’t. I went to a typical Midwestern K-12 school system, and my bachelor’s is from a Big Ten university. I remember thinking that home education was some crazy, antiquated, hidden part of society. I can remember telling people that as “Christians, we

The road to graduate school begins in different places for every person. For me, it began at home. My father became the first person in his immediate family to earn a master’s degree, and he served in two different full-time positions, working in both public education and on staff at a church. As a result,

American higher education rests upon the foundation of biblical Christianity. From their beginnings, American colleges emphasized scriptural literacy, Christian moral principles, salvation through Jesus Christ and a biblical worldview. Though these initial commitments may have shifted over time, the foundations are rock-solid. Puritans established Harvard College in 1636, shortly after arriving in Massachusetts Bay. Harvard’s

You are in a unique moment in your life. You’ve heard that already. You can probably still hear the Dr. Seuss quotes and “one chapter is closing, and an exciting new chapter is about to begin” echoing in your head from the graduation speech that already seems so long ago. You are in a unique

When a university hits its 100th anniversary and still is setting new records, starting new programs and impressing visitors with its creative and energetic campus “vibe,” it clearly is doing something right. That’s the story at Lee University, which is celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2018 with no sign of a slowdown in its burst

Liberty University celebrated the 47th year of fulfilling its mission, “Training Champions for Christ,” in 2018. Few institutions of Liberty’s size have reached this mark with such a large and diverse set of academic programs. The increase in degrees and specializations since Liberty’s early years as a Bible college is staggering. In the last 10

More Americans are expressing interest in increasing their interaction with the Bible, according to the annual “State of the Bible” research from American Bible Society. The 2018 report reveals a majority of Americans, 57 percent, declare they wish they used the Bible more. While 89 percent of those who are considered Bible Engaged desire to

Stephen Strang: The New York Times published a long article on how successful Liberty University is, but it was also somewhat critical. Do you think it was fair? Jerry Falwell: No. There were accounts from former students and employees who said some things that were not accurate—but federal privacy laws forbid us from refuting what
