Reflections@Rickman

"According to an analogy made last night, everyone has a "triangle", on which they figuratively place the issues that are most important at (or near) the top. This triangle looks different for everyone, according to their life experiences and values.

Are there things that should be up at the top of our "issues triangle" instead of or as well as Jesus (his life, his death, his love for us, his love for others)?

Reflections @ Rickman

Is there a difference between viewing social issues from an "ultra-conservative" perspective and viewing them from a biblical perspective? How do you determine what the biblical perspective is?

Reflections @ Rickman

Rickman Library would like to invite Students, Faculty and Staff to get an early start on our upcoming Reflections @ Rickman discussion on the book The Unlikely Disciple. The discussion will take place here in the library on Tuesday, November 10 at 4PM. Copies of the book are available on 1-week reserve at the library.

“Liberty [University] is every bit as messy and diverse as any secular college, and lumping everyone on this campus into a single category seems irrational and simplistic.” (p.283)
