No fan of Donald Trump’s, Dr. Krauthammer described the billionaire as a demagogue not worthy of the presidency. He lamented the Iran Nuclear Deal. In short, we spent an hour peering into his mind, and whether we agreed or disagreed with him, we learned and we were better for it. As I got ready to dismiss the audience, I looked over my notes and remembered I had one last announcement to make. Dr. Ben Carson, Republican presidential candidate, was coming to campus for a campaign rally the following week. The crowd hooted in anticipation. I drove home and reflected on the day. Perhaps God will use Cedarville University to shed His grace on the political world, which is in desperate need of it. Perhaps our students, trained in a biblical worldview and ready to be salt and light, will preserve and illuminate our culture. But however God chooses to use our labors, we will still labor in His vineyard, because that is our calling.
