2019 Commencement Program

For our graduate students, you have persevered through your coursework while maintaining full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and ministries within your church and community. We are proud of your diligence and are confident that your hard work will pay off vocationally as well as in Kingdom impact. So graduates, my encouragement to you on this last day of your Cedarville experience is the verse that carried me through my first year here — “ Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Josh. 1:7–9). Come back to see us and know that we will always be here for you, praying that you will stand with compassionate conviction for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. In Christ Alone, Thomas White, Ph.D. President, Cedarville University
