A Christian School Called Harvard

Sunday, July 4, 2021

On this Independence Day, here is a word to remember: Harvard College was founded in 1638 by strict Puritans for the purpose of training missionaries for the Gospel. But, by the mid-19th century, the last embers of spirituality were quickly disappearing. Yale University was founded in 1701 and from the beginning, its president taught students on subjects such as "The Bible is the Word of God." But like Harvard, Yale's evangelical stand soon disappeared. They were both founded for one purpose, the glory of God, and yet, they all ended up completely forgetting the purpose for which both were founded. It happens all the time, not just to universities, but to believers as well. Maybe you started out pure and focused and full of zeal to serve the Lord. But you've gotten distracted and sidetracked by money, success, ministry or a thousand other things and forgotten the very purpose for which you exist. Come back my friend. Reconsecrate your heart, mind, soul, and strength to knowing and serving the Lord. Come back to your first call - and don't end up like Harvard.rn
