Seminary AwaitsStateAccreditation

When rebuking those who thought of themselves as experts in the law, Jesus said, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, not the power of God" (Matthew 22:29).

"Scriptural Scholarship Aflame" is the motto of Liberty Baptist Seminary Classroom and library facilities were moved this year from the Thomas Road locationto the Keith Building at Sixth and Church Streets in downtown Lynchburg. Expansion of the seminary library contributed immensely to the prestige of this graduate school of theology, which awaited granting ofapproval from theVirginia Council ofHigher Education. With the approval, Liberty Baptist Seminary maygrant two bonafide graduate degrees, a Master of Divinity in Theology and a Master of Arts inChristian Education.

For the first time in the seminary's three-year history, more than 100 students from allparts of the nation and many countries enrolled toseek deeper knowledge of God's Holy Word. The desirein the heart of Dr Robert Hughes, dean of Liberty Baptist Seminary, is to see the students of LBS be used mightily of God in one last great harvest before the trumpet sounds, and the Lord Himself descends from Heaven with a shout,tocall His people home.

May it never be said of the graduates of Liberty Baptist Seminary, "Yedo err,notknowingthe scriptures,northepower ofGod."
