Updates and Reflections from the Interim President
President’s Charge to the Graduates
Asbury Theological Seminary: Spring 2025
- May you, as those committed to the Great Commission mission, go into those parts of the world God is calling you to, teaching them to obey all that Christ commanded. Be lifelong learners, renewing your minds daily by studying to show yourself approved unto God, workmen that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
- May you embrace the Great Commandment mandate, fully and freely loving God with all your heart, soul and mind and loving that and whom He so loved that He gave His only begotten Son to renew, restore and redeem.
- May you be open to serve the neediest among us, going where others choose not to go, recognizing that Christ has no hands but your hands to do His work today, He has no feet but your feet to lead mankind in His way, for you are the sinner’s Gospel and the scoffer’s creed.
- May you band together, on your Emaus roads, in mutual support with and submission to others of like-minded conviction and courage, acknowledging that the call and claims He is placing on your life are too great, too demanding and too sacred to accomplish on your own.
- May you worship Christ alone, keeping your eyes fixed on Him who is the author and finisher of your faith and
- May you be sanctified whole and holy, never forgetting that it is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit that you will achieve the beauty of holiness He intends for His pure, blameless and spotless bride.
