“And he said, It is [too] a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, That thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.”—Isaiah 49:6

As we enter this season of gratitude and Thanksgiving, I wanted to share my most recent reason for giving thanks here at Warner Pacific University. On November 10, I was deeply grateful and appreciative to have had an invitation to speak at the Tigard Church of God, located in Tigard, Oregon during its Sunday morning service. And as I prepared for this sermon, I reflected on one of the most challenging tasks for Christians, as well as any person serving in civic or sacred capacities. This task is identifying one’s “north star” or fixed and immovable point from which one seeks the widest application of good for the community one is called to—both within and outside of the faith. Even more so is the privilege to do so in the rich and wonderful tapestry of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic diversity that WPU is uniquely blessed with. And since its founding in 1937, in Spokane, Washington, as Pacific Bible College, Warner Pacific University’s “light,” from which it came into being, takes its governance from and is sustained by is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. And I—along with so many others here in this community—am honored to be a part of this career and calling that fulfills this wonderful purpose…
