2002 Miracle Yearbook

Dr. Dixon and Dr. Jeremiah take some time to reflect after the conference. winter conference As ritual and habit go,the third week ofwinter quarter comes, and it is time for the annual Winter Enrichment Conference. This year the conference speaker was Dr. David Jeremiah, an alumnus of Cedarville and the son offormer chancellor, Dr.James T.Jeremiah. Dr.Jeremiah was the senior pastor ofShadow Mountain Community Church,in El Cajon, California; he also had a radio program called "Turning Point" which was broadcast nationwide. Each ofthe conference sessions began with lively music. Led by Professor Mike DiCuirci and his entourage, it was always an enjoyable experience. Dr.Jeremiah started many ofhis messages telling amusing stories or jokes that he said "had nothing to do with his sermon." It was a great technique to get the students awake in the morning and after a long day ofclasses, as well as 106 Winter interested in what he was going to be speaking on. His topics came from a recent survey taken at his church, where his church members wrote down their greatest fears. The series ofmessages was very practical and applicable to the entire Cedarville family. Monday night Dr.Jeremiah spoke about Fear and how the opposite offear is love, not courage. Tuesday morning chapel was about Temptation,and Tuesday evening was about the Fear ofFailure. Wednesday morning he spoke about Doubt,and in closing on Wednesday evening, he spoke on the topic ofWorry. Senior Elementary Education major Rachel Frey stated,"I really enjoyed Dr.Jeremiah; his messages were thought out,and he gave a lot ofscripture for every example. I also liked the way he gave suggestions of how to counter the problems with a lot ofScripture." The Kingsmen Quartet, always a favorite, perform for special music. That's right! It's definitely time for "Lion of Judah."
