SHINING ACADEMICALLY PP. 7-36 GLOWING SPIRITUALLY PP. 37-42 REFLECTING THRU SERVICE PP. 43-48 BEAMING PHYSICALLY PP. 49-56 FLICKERING SOCIALLY PP. 57-64 Q Young fella, I can see how trainin's good for ya, and I know when you get outta that Bible school you will live for God. But right now, how can you be livin' for God if you're stuck up yonder on the hill? There are lots of ways. First of all, we have a chance to draw closer to Him each day, and that in itself is a way to honor Him. As we study His Word and spend time in prayer,we are serving Him. The youth paused for a moment. You know, mister, he continued, there are plenty of ways we can let His light shine forth from our hill. Each of us has an assignment each week during which we can go out and minister to the spiritual needs of folk around us. Several students go visiting our neighbors, just as I am visiting you now, in an effort to bring them to Christ. We could be helpful in the churches in this area if we would really apply ourselves. Our choir and other musical groups travel all through this state and surrounding ones spreading the gospel of Christ. H Many of the students have parents or friends or other loved ones back home who haven't met Christ in this personal way. These students can explain what it is to truly know Christ as they write home or visit for a week-end or a vacation period. Students are serving Him as they allow Him to have His will day by day. Hmmmm, the old man mused. Guess your life can be handy to God, ne'er mind whar ye are, if you allow Him to be the boss. That's right, sir. I believe that now you do understand what we are doing up there on our hill. You see, we want our lives to really glorify God. As each student submits himself, His light will shine forth from our hill. Yes, it is our prayer--the prayer of each member of the Appalachian Bible Institute family--that from now 'till the day He returns, always there will shine forth HIS LIGHT FROM OUR HILL ! The youth went on his way looking for more like the old man whom he could help. But as he went, he really pondered, he really prayed. And as he prayed, that one phrase kept coming to mind. Yes, this MUST be the sincere prayer of each one of them. If it weren't, how could the school survive? Yes, that one phrase is the real goal. How had he said it the first time? Oh yes! It was always may there shine forth HIS LIGHT FROM OUR HILL!
