Imagine if the bricks around Cedarville’s campus could speak. Imagine the life transformations they have witnessed. The bricks would tell of classes where the light suddenly turned on as knowledge passed from a teacher to a student. The bricks would paint a student’s delighted smile as they grasped a hard concept for the first time and an uncontrollable sense of accomplishment, excitement, and joy flooded their face. The bricks would recount the first date, the first hand-hold, the first kisses, and the first heartfelt proposal for marriage. The bricks would speak of tears of repentance when the Spirit convicted someone of sin, leading them to realize that God is more important than anything this life has to offer. They would tell of the guilt, conviction, repentance, relief, and joy of someone going from spiritual death to life as God saved them (Ephesians 2). 25
