This week we have been focusing the authority of Scripture – one of our five core values.  Professors have delivered chapel messages on the topic, each coming from a slightly different angle.

But rather than just talk about the authority of Scripture, we wanted to do something about it.  So as a student body, we have been reading aloud through the entire Bible this week, with each student volunteer reading in fifteen minute intervals.

In less than 96 hours (breaks were taken for chapel and sleep!), the feat has been accomplished, but Student Senate president Jason Harms is quick to remind us that this isn’t about breezing through the Bible as fast as possible.

"We go to this university so we can master the Bible, but something we are striving toward all the more is having the Bible master us," said Harms.
