Brian Baker Speaking

The Bridge March 31, 2023 

A Note from Brian 

We are currently reading 1 Corinthians in our Quiet Time, and I have been reminded of the importance of the Holy Spirit of God in our lives to reveal truth to us. As we read the Word and listen to biblical teaching in the classroom or the church, we need the Spirit to guide us in the wisdom of God so that we are not caught up in the wisdom of the world.  

It is a blessing to have students back on campus. Please pray along with me that they will stay focused and finish strong over the next eight weeks of classes. Pray that the Spirit of God will take the Word of God and guide each student in wisdom. 

Easter Weekend Special Permission 

As a reminder, your student is allowed to come home for Easter weekend (April 7–10); however, they will need to fill out a special permission form by April 3 to do so.
