Religion Surely we should expect to find, at last, in religion the knowledge of life’s purpose, the True Values, and the Right Way. y YET if we search deeply, with open mind, we find here the saddest disillusionment of all! The Christian-professing churches are divided and in confusion. They have not “‘saved,’’ reformed nor changed the ways of the Christian world into peace, happi- ness, joy, abundant well-being. Bishop Hazen G. Werner once said, “‘We have been dried out by the hot winds of secularism. We who are to overcome the world have been overcome by the world.”’ Harvard Divinity School’s Dean Miller was quoted saying, ‘‘The church simply does not have a cutting edge [i.e., it has thrown away the ‘‘two-edged sword”’ of the Bible]. It has taken the culture of our time and absorbed it.”’ To this, Yale’s former Chaplain William Sloan Coffin adds, ‘‘We churchmen are gifted at changing wine into water — watering down religion.” But what is the real truth? Shocking though it may be, we find those proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ preaching about His Person, yet many teaching diametrically opposite to His teaching, disapproving the laws and cus- toms He practiced, following instead the pagan customs His Word condemns. The churches have not received most of their teachings and practices from the Bible as their basic authority, as popularly supposed. Rather, they have, by interpret- ing it, endeavored to so twist and distort it as to read their human-devised teachings and pagan practices into it! Yet the Bible, taken without interpretation, makes sense! In it — and it alone — we find revealed the purpose of human existence, the meaning of life, the true values, the right way! Here, at last, we find the foundation — the starting point — of all knowledge! You can prove the existence of God. You can prove the inspiration of the Holy Bible — as God’s revelation and instruction book to mankind. One unique College is founded on the revelation of God’s Word — the Holy Bible. Ambassador College teaches ‘‘the Word of God is the foundation of knowledge.”’ Ambassador students are discovering these precious truths and receiving a broadened, balanced, true education. Join us now on a pictorial journey of Ambassador College and its extension activities pioneering ‘‘tomorrow’s education today’’...

The contemporary architecture of the Fine Arts Hall (left) and the Science Lecture Hall (right) is tastefully blended with the classical styling of Ambassador Hall.
