I said goodbye to my parents on the sidewalk between Commons One and University Boulevard when they dropped me off at college for the first time.

Escaping oppression in England, the Pilgrims fled to the land we now know as the United States of America in search of religious freedom. These individuals wanted to be free to worship, but who did they want to worship? The one, true God. The God of the Bible. It should come as no surprise that after being founded upon biblical […]
