Every morning, all faculty, staff, and students read the Devotion of the Day from our "Jesus Calling" book. These daily messages are based on Scripture and they are written as though Jesus is speaking directly to us. The messages are simple and short and they help us with the things that are going on in our daily lives.
"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."
