Campus Safety Questions Parents and students should investigate any college they consider for their college safety. As a college administrator and currently a dad of college students, I am aware of the importance of campus safety. Student security must be a top priority for any campus to allow students to focus on college life and learning. US News and World Report published 12 Questions to Ask About Campus Safety. We want to answer these questions to reassure those considering Trinity…
Is College Worth It? By Karly Dooley More and more often, we see skepticism about whether or not a college degree is worth it. It is easy to be intimidated by large dollar figures related to tuition, dorm fees, books, and more when you begin researching potential places to study, but the answer is still a resounding “YES” when it comes to the value of a college education – for so many reasons! Research by the Social Security Administration reported…
BY ADAM POWERS: I’ve been in and around pastoral ministry for 10 years now and over that time I’ve noticed that in every congregation there usually are 4 kinds of people present. I find these distinctions to be quite helpful because each group requires a different approach, and they need different things (that I want to be able to give them) from me as their pastor. Now, not every person fits into one of these categories. I have been in…
BY DR. JOE ALLOTTA: I think you might be surprised by Jesus’ number-one draft pick. Jesus would pick John the Baptist. Why do I think that? He said so in Luke 7:48. “I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John” (Luke 7:48). John the Baptist is like Scottie Pippen. Everyone who watched Pippen play knows that he’s a great player. He might be the best perimeter defender ever. When the first Dream…
BY DR. MARK O’FARRELL: Many of us are familiar with the story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16. As you know the Philistines desired to capture and weaken this man of incredible strength. Noticing that he had fallen in love with a woman named Delilah, the lords of the Philistines offered her 1,100 pieces of silver if she would seduce him and discover his secret of great strength. Then they could overpower and bind him to humiliate him. It…
Your Selfie Stick Can’t Do That By: Timothy Bettelli Our Culture is Ruled by “Self” A couple of weeks ago, my wife bought me a selfie stick. I have seen people use these things everywhere they go. From one perspective it seems like a really useful tool, especially when you don’t have anyone to take a picture for you. On the other hand, it also seems weird to me. I feel like it’s kind of strange because the whole point of…
Is there room for a Hallelujah? By Mark O’Farrell At a time such as this in our confused, chaotic, and misguided culture, is there room for a Hallelujah? I maintain there is! Why … you may ask. The answer is settled in the reality that as believers, God’s people, we know the End and we know the New Beginning that is forthcoming! It is clearly seen throughout Scripture, but Revelation 19 captures the core or essence of confidence and courage in…
By Peggy Bragg My personal relationship and life’s journey with Jesus began in an old open-air chapel with a sawdust floor. Trinity College students, Percy & Hazel Cannon, ran a Christian camp in North Florida on the Suwannee River called Camp O’ the Suwanee. Having been in Dad’s classes, they wanted to do something to show their thanks for him and his teaching. They decided to give two free weeks in their camp to all four of the Bragg children;…
You Missed It! By Mark O’Farrell, College President Over the years, I am fairly certain someone has come up to you with these words: ‘You Missed It!’ It might have been something you forgot to see. Or, you might have been preoccupied and did not experience or realize what happened. Or, you did not think it was important so you did not plan to be present or look into the event. Usually, for me, it was a friend, colleague, or…
