1985 Miracle Yearbook

Analyzing The True Vine W hen the students of Cedarville College reflect upon the seas of memories pertaining to this particular fall quarter, many thoughts will come flood- ing back. For the majority of students, it wasa time to renew friendships, a time to encourage academic and spiritual growth, and possibly a time to look toward graduation. For freshman it was a rime to meet new friends, a rime to grow away from Mom and Dad, and a rime to mature. Many important experiences will also contribute to those fall memories. For example, many students will never forget the Foil Bible Conference's impact on their lives or the speaking of Dr. David Jeremiah. Dr. Jeremiah centered his messages on the John 15:1, 2 passages: "I am the true vine, and my Father isthe husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he raketh away: and every branch in me that beorerh fruit, he purgerh it, that it may bring forth more fruit." Dr. Jeremiah also used the parable of the sower and the seed found inMatthew 13:4-8; 19-23. These passages were implanted into the hearts and minds of many by Dr. Jermiah's skillful exegesis and genuine concern for young people. We all wit- nessed the Holy Spirit moving in the lives of many people during the week of September 24-28. I will nor forger the teaching of Dr. Jeremiah; for on Sep- tember 25, 1984, I recommitted my life to Christ and all of my doubts were wiped away. Steven M. Campbell David Jeremiah Alumnus Of The Year
