Exhortation to my Graduating Brethren

Well you guys did it! This is your final week as BBC students. Enjoy the time you have left and know that I am proud of each and everyone of you. But during this time of celebration and much joy I exhort you and not only you but for myself the words of Paul found in 2 Timothy 4:2-5, "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
