Robin Ying "So I leave you with these final words which, even while living in the promise of grace and the hope of holiness, remind me daily of why we are here. We have all eternity to sing praise to God. We have all eternity to fellowship with one another. But we only have this lifetime to preach the Gospel! Let the Gospel transform you, that you may be made holy, set apart from the world so that this campus, too may be transformed."
(Robin will actually be staying at Cornell for another few years getting his PhD. I'm really glad that he'll be around!)
Lauren Lee We’ve talked a lot this year about the importance of community, and I’m not disputing the fact that having a strong Christian network is important, but it doesn’t replace a real, sincere personal relationship with Jesus.
Nick Biebel If we graduate from Cornell but have not given God our all and loved those He’s placed in our life here, we missed out. Don’t miss out. Do Cornell differently. It takes sacrifice and acknowledging our limits. But it’s worth it.
Nick will be sticking around next year as an intern with us.
Kaytlin Fischer - "I think an important question to ask ourselves is, Am I content with my weaknesses? Not my sin or foolishness – we need to fight against those! But God shows us in 2 Corinthians 12 that He has given us these weaknesses for our joy. The more aware we are of God’s grace, the more humble, prayerful, joyful, etc. we will be. And we are more aware of God’s grace when we are weak. So we can thank God for the weaknesses He has blessed us with!! Because He gives them to us so we can more fully experience the joy He has for us. When we are weak, God’s strength is more displayed in our lives."
