Torch, Summer 1990

( in their Satan's Evangelistic Strategy for the New Age: "The New Age thus is a revival of the Old Age. And the New Age may well tum out to be the Final Age." This battle has been waged through all ages, but victory is assured. "Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord" (I Corinthians 15:57). Many years ago Samuel Chadwick said, "Christ descended to man 's level; took man 's nature; endured man's temptation; died in man's place; conquered the devil, man's foe; achieved man's victory; and served man ' s salvation." How do we make that victory ours? Primarily through prayer. A few years ago, two pastors visited our Cedarville College campus to check out all aspects of the College to see if we met their approval. At the conclusion of their stay, they met me in my office and exclaimed, "Do you realize what God is doing in this place? Satan would love to destroy it! You people had better spend a lot of time on your knees!" We do. We have done so for many years. We believe in prayer. We major in prayer. Prayer is a major focus in our daily chapels. Classes open in prayer. There are dorm prayer meetings and college-wide prayer meetings. Two annual days of prayer are set aside in the academic calendar when four hours each day are given to prayer and testimony. I have told our alumni and students, if they ever have a need the rest of their lives, call me collect. They do! Sometimes they need counsel. Most often they desire the college family to pray for them. No, the war is not over! Satan is alive and well. The battle is real for you, for me, for Cedarville College. What can you do for us? Give? Yes! Send students? Yes! Share your counsel? Yes! The most important thing you can do as we wage our spiritual battle is pray for us.
