You come back to Cedarville and are immediately saturated in the Word of God. It's special because of the in-depth material that each and every one of us can relate to. It makes you want to serve and praise God all the more!" (Cliff Smith, sophomore) This year, the university welcomed speaker, evangelist, and radio host, Mr. Ron Hutchcraft. Having spent over forty years ip ministry, Hutchcraft was able to present practicalsuggestionsaboutliving lifecenteredon Christ. Throughout the conference, Hutchcraft encouraged the student body to be satisfied with nothing less than living the abundant life God intended for His followers. With this aim, he presented messages about being an "Unsinkable Person," avoiding the "Seven Dirty Secrets of a Christian College," and learning how to "Lose the Baggage." "For me, it was very enlightening. We get so caught up with the idea of living our lives for God that we forget that it's a day by day process." (Jen Lester, senior) Returning a second time to lead music for the Fall Bible Conference were Matt and Whitney Rexford. Rexford, a 1998 Cedarville graduate, is a singer and songwriter who serves as worship pastor at Southside Fellowship in Greenville, SC. Rexford and his wife aimed to facilitate worship focused on God 's Word. "They used creative multimedia tools to encourage worship, while still maintaining a genuine quality in which it was obvious that the Lord, and not the experience, was being praised. It was wonderful to see that all the 'bells and Whistles' don't have to overpower the truth contained in the songs." (Chrissy Pupillo, senior) "Matt (Rexford) would encourage us before every session of the Bible Conference to play with joy." (Nate Mccloskey, junior) Anchoring the student body at the beginning of the Fall Bible Conference, Or. Brown provides a framework of thought for the week. . c::: 0 :::s OJ a u, 0 o· C: y, u, <'D :::s o· ~ -f '3' ~- <'D "' m c - m:!: - m m '< - · u, Q.
