"Bestill,andknow thatIamGod;Iwill beexalted among the natio willbeexalted in theearth."Psalm46:10 V Darns Sneed leads the special Fall Bible Conference praise team by uniting students,faculty, staff and guests in a time ofworship. C edarville University launched the school year with the Fall Bible Conference, which hosted Dr. Michael Easley, a poignant and articulate speaker of the Christian community.Students coming from either mountaintop or valley-deep summer experiences drew together as Dr. Easley delved into the book of Psalms during the first days back on campus. He encouraged students to feel deeply and to explore the possibilities of using their emotions to honor God. He challenged the Cedarville community not to be blind to pain or suffering, but to be aware of how God may shape and form through hard- ships. Students and guests poured in at the regular chapel hour and in the evenings to be encouraged and challenged by Dr. Easley's words. Before his teaching, the Cedarville community worshiped together through an energetic worship band led by some from the Cedarville family. As the lights flashed and the beat filled the room, students raised their hands and their voices in honor of their great God who oversaw the events of the summer and brought them back to campus. Dr. Easley's words resounded with students from different walks of life. Senior Alisa Daum said,"For the past four years I have looked forward to the Fall Bible Conference because it starts the year off with a challenge, and this year was no exception." As Dr. Easley concluded his last message on Thursday morning, students left the chapel knowing they were ready to start this challenging yet exhila- rating school year.
