Una Rev. Safarcr A. Witmer That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Phil. 3:10. Fort Wayne Bible Institute Indiana University Extension Divisionl Taylor University Winona Lake School of Theology Apologetics Bible Exposition Pedagogy Launching out is as challenging as it is descriptive. It suggests both starting on a career and moving with force and swiftness. It lights up the only kind of response that is fitting to the call of Christ: Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. This invitation to engage in the great work of human redemption calls for a prompt and irrevocable decision. When first given to fishermen on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, there followed that kind of response: And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him. That decision changed their lives and their careers. It gave to the world's Saviour the nucleus of a working force to carry forward His redemptive mission. The challenge of Christ to youth today comes with fresh urgency. What the world needs is a force of Christian youth so utterly dedicated to Him that they will risk all in the greatest of all adventures, without hesitation or delay. Page eleven

' i 0014 lean Rev. Iared F. Geriq But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33. Fort Wayne Bible Institute Indiana University Cleveland Bible College Penn College . Arizona State College Bible Exposition Church History l-lomiletics There are various launchings upon many kinds of seas in the course of a life-time. A launch- ing indicates the beginning of something, the leaving of a port, a departure from a base, a putting out to sea. For a vessel, it refers to sliding from the slip into the waters to be of service to man. This is all meaningful symbolism. Launching out for Christ expresses not only a new be- ginning, a commencement, but also a continued activity. lt is not only a launching, but a launch- ing out: out Where men are dying and need help. lt means out of ourselves, out of our security, out of our softness, out to the ends of the earth to carry the message of hope to waiting souls. What is done out there is the acid test of the education we have received. A true education must also instill a Worthy objective. No apology is necessary when it is for Christ that We live and serve. Much of modern education has majored on self-advancernerit, how to be a success and get ahead. lt is materialistic, earthbound, self-centered, and short- sighted. A true Bible education will aim high at living and working for Christ. Page thirteen
