Dedication

Mr. Gordon Lu

"Leadership is stimulating others to brilliant effort." These are the words ofGordon Luff,who came to Virginia from California in 1971 after fifteen years of success in Christian youth work,camping, and education.The founding year ofthe Liberty Baptist College, he joined the staff as an instructor, head of the youth department,and Dean of Student Affairs. During the early days at LBC, he had a major part inthe actual construction of dormitories, offices,and other facilities. As a young man he left his home town of New York and went to Greenville, South Carolina, to receive his formal education at Bob Jones Academy and University It was here that he came under the influence of Dr Bob Jones, Sr., who had a profound effect upon his life. He, in turn, now, has a tremendous influence on over two hundred youth majors at LBC He has the unique, God-given ability to motivate and stimulate othersto brillianteffort.Mr.Luffis a dynamic Christian leader and one of the most influencialmen inlocalchurch youth work. He isthe founder and director ofYouth Aflame,an innovative philosophy in reaching the youth ofthe world forJesusChrist. Since 1973, he has directed the LBC Chorale and is presently production manager for the "I Love America" rallies being held in nearly every major city inAmerica Along with his other duties he is the Youth Co-ordinator for Thomas Road Baptist Church He is continuing his education at Liberty Baptist Seminary He attributes much of the credit for his success to his lovely wife, Dottie. With great appreciation and admiration, the 1975-1976 yearbook staffdedicates this Bicentenial Edition of "Selah" to an unusual man of God who, in the spirit of the men who made America a great nation, is making LBC a great college for thegloryofGod."

I love America because it is a Christian nation I do not mean to say that every American is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, far from it, but the foundation of the American system rests inChristianity. Any careful and objective study of America's beginnings will reveal conclusively that it was the intent purpose of the men and women who came to this wilderness to build a nation upon the principles of the Christian religion As we commemorate our nation's bicentennial, we are continually reminded of our great heritage, but too often the religious character of the men who built this nation is belittled or ignored. Let us ask these men and hear from their own words what brought them to thiscontinent.

Although it is not a proven fact that Columbus was the first to discover America, he nevertheless played a great part in our beginning What does he have to say about his reasons for sailing to this wilderness? First, Columbus was a deeply religiousman. His own book, Book of Prophesies, reveals Columbus' own record of his faith ... "I am a most unworthy sinner, but Ihave cried out to the Lord for peace and mercy, and they have covered me completely Ihave found the sweetest consolation since Imade itmy whole purpose to enjoy His marvelous presence."

It is also in this book that we discover one of the reasons for his attempting to sail in unchartered waters . .."It was the Lord who put into my mind (Icould feel His hand upon me) to sail from here to the Indies." . . . "There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit,because he comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from theHolyScriptures."

"There are great and wonderful things for the earth, and the signs are that the Lord ishastening the end. The fact that the gospel must still be preached to so many lands in such a short time that is what convincesme."

Columbus was aware of a deeper purpose to hisjourney than that of findinga new trade route On one of hislaterjourneys, he desired totake evangelists with him, but in this he was not tosucceed,yet even in this apparent failure, we can see the hand of God. This was before the gospel had been purged and stripped of its trappings and ceremonial weight by the reformation. It would be nearly one hundred years before the message of the gospelwas tocome toourshores.

In 1620, a small ship laden with cargo of cold and hungry men and women, had just crossed the Atlantic in an effort to escape the persecution they faced in Europe Not all the passengers were Pilgrims in flight for their religious beliefs. Some were "strangers," men with no particular religious conviction, who were on ship for other reasons As the ship approached the shore, near what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, they dropped anchor The date was November 20. During that day, the ship's log was silent, but on the next morning,an agreement was signed It has become one of this nation's most cherished documents. The Mayflower Compact established a precedence; that is the power of the government rests upon "the consent of the governed."

The Mayflower Compact also provides us with insight into another purpose of the Pilgrims (quoting from that document)

"Having undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith," the Pilgrim's second missionwas alsoevangelistic. Our nation was settled by men and women who had a desire to bring the gospel to its shores This evangelistic zeal has been carried from generation to generation in local churches across the country, from the Puritan and Jonathan Edwards to the present. this is why our nation has, up to now experienced the liberties that no other country has ever experienced And it is because of the present lack of aggressive Christians, that we now face the greatest problems we have ever faced asanation.

At Liberty Baptist College, we are training young men and women to carry this message to the world. We believe that we as Christians are more responsible for the future of our nation than any other peoplein thiscountry.

TO THE 1976 COLLEGE GRADUATES:

The freedom to pursue knowledge is one of the great blessings our Founding Fathers sought to bestow on the society they envisioned You have been the beneficiaries of this great legacy. You have tasted the freedom to engage in the studies of your choice, to express your opinions and to pursue new opportunities for self-fulfillment.

As I congratulate you on the accomplishments reflected in your college degrees, a proud nation looks to you to help advance the continuing realization of the dream of our Founding Fathers and the aspirations of our society. We can reflect that two hundred years ago half of our population was less than twenty years of age. The author of our Declaration ofIndependence was thirty-three; and of its signers, sixteen were in their thirties and three were in their twenties. Young or old, our Founding Fathers cherished the concepts of individual freedom and equality and were fiercely determined to direct their own destiny.

As the Bicentennial college graduating class, you are the embodiment ofwhat America can achieve. You are both the strength and the hope of our nation. I send each of you my very best wishes for every success and personal satisfaction in your future lives.

Selah

Frustrated SELAH staff members worked many long, hard hours to produce a special Bicentennial edition of the LBC yearbook. The '76 SELAH was a huge undertaking for the inexperienced staff.

N a Elele N o Kristo (Ambassadors For Christ)

Each summer several students and faculty members work as Ambassadors for Christ for the Hawaiian Islands Mission in Maui, Hawaii. The mission was formed in 1954 by Dr.and Mrs.Edward Todd under the deep sense of Hawaii's pressing need and with an earnest desire, constrained by the love of Christ and the hope of His coming again, to obey His command to preach the Gospel to every creature. The home office is the Denbigh Baptist Church in Newport News, Va.

Last summer, six LBC students went to Maui with the Bonheims and their family. Over the last few years,hundreds ofsouls have been saved through this ministry and many Christians strengthened in the faith. Two Maui young people (Ken Tobita and Jim Sample) are here at LBC because of the "summer team."

The A.C. Nielsen Company has reported in its February, 1976 "Report on Syndicated Programs" that the "Old-Time Gospel Hour" is carried by more stations in the United States than any other single telecast According to Nielsen, the Old-Time Gospel Hour was carried by 204 major sattions in the U.S as of February, 1976 Since several stations apparently did not correctly report to Nielsen, the accurate and up-to-date total as of this writing is 251 stations

The Old-Time Gospel Hour

With Dr. Jerry Falwell

It istruly a miracle story as we recall the first Old-Time Gospel Hour program was seen in black and white and live over WLVA-TV, channel 13 in Lynchburg, Virginia during the Fall of 1956, nearly 20 years ago.We thank God for opening such a tremendous door of utterance to us According to the Nielsen Report, the Old-Time Gospel Hour is available now to 54,392,000 homes each week in the United States Considering the fact that 3 or 4 persons live in each home, we are made to realize what a glorious opportunity God has given us to reach this nationforChrist!

Dr. Mark L. Lloyd, director of broadcasting, chairman and professor of Television-Radio-Film at LBC, spends many hours each week preparing the Old-Time Gospel Hour for viewing. Many LBC students serve the Lord as they get first-hand experience as part of the Old-Time Gospel Hour staff at the Thomas Road Baptist Church.

Perhaps the grandest and most conclusive description of the Bible was penned by the Apostle Paul in a letter to a young pastor. Here he wrote: "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Allscripture isgiven by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,for correction,forinstruction inrighteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

IITimothy3:15-17

I love God's word! For the past four years it been my high and holy priviledge to teach this blessed book to hundreds of men and women whose heart desire is that once expressed by David who one prayed: 'open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wonderous things out of thy Law.' Psa

This year Dr H Willmington added a new outreach of TRBI, which is the "Basic Stages in the Book of Ages" Seminars These week long seminars are presented in cities across America, with the purpose of giving the layman a basic but thorough understanding ofthe Old Testament This systematic summary will be developed into the New Testament next year.The response to these seminars has been encouraging. The potential is tremendous. We are sure that God will greatly bless this teaching of His Word.

The Liberty Home Bible Insitute, TRBI's and TRBC's newest ministry,iswell on itsway of being a tremendous success This Home Correspondence course covers the same material as the TRBI. The only difference being LHBI studies by cassette tapes and text books at home. Surely God will use this means ofspreading HisWord throughoutAmerica.

'Iam theresurrection, andthelife hethatbelievethin me,thoughhewere dead,yetshallhelive: and whosoever livethand believethinme shallneverdie.'

John 11:25,26

I love America because of her great past but also because of her great future We still have the ability to evangelize this world We lack nothing butthe heartsofGod's people We have this promise from the Bible that "If my people, which are called by my name,shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will Ihear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will healtheir land."

LetAll thePeople PraiseThee

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause hisfacetoshineupon us; Selah thatthey way may be known uponearth, thysavinghealth among all nations

Let the people praise thee, 0 God; let all thepeople praise thee O let thenationsbeglad and singforjoy; forthousshaltjudgethepeoplerighteously, and govern thenationsupon earth Selah

Let the people praise thee, 0 God; let all thepeople praise thee then shall theearthyieldherincrease; and God, even ourown God,shallbless us God shallbless us; and all theends oftheearthshall fearhim SELAH: stop, reflect, and meditate on what hasjust been seen and read
