This past weekend my wife and I attended a graduation ceremony of a young man we have known for about 13 years. He had completed the course of instruction at a police academy.
Seven others graduated in his class. As they stood there in their uniforms, speeches were given and awards handed out for achievement. Phrases were spoken like, “service to community,” “brotherhood” and “honor and respect for each other.” It was really cool!
I couldn’t help but wonder, as this ceremony was going on, why we in the Christian community don’t seem to have that same sense of pride when students graduate from Sunday School or Seminary. I know there are some who see the awesome responsibility that we have as Christians, to each other and to the lost. Let’s get excited about that!
Congratulations to all of the Police Officers who have completed their training and thank you. To all of those who are just as serious about your Biblical training (as we all should be), congratulations and best wishes to you. May God richly bless you as you serve Him.
