The end of the school year is at hand. It has gone by all too quickly. These months since the last Banner have not been easy; there has been a seriousness in our seeking the Lord as He works deeply within our lives. This has been a very profitable time in the development of spirituality and ministries within us.

George Warnock and his wife, from British Columbia, were here for three weeks speaking in morning and evening Chapel services. His many years of a close walk with the Lord were clearly reflected through his ministry. An openness towards the Lord was created within our spirits as a result of the heavy anointing that is upon him. We all received afresh insight into the person and purpose of our Lord.

We have been greatly blessed with much good ministry this school year, both from pastors who came to teach, and visiting ministry from many parts of the country, and world. We are grateful to these for their caring and giving, which has strengthened and inspired us to follow onto "Know the Lord."

This is the heart of what each has emphasized. And, that "Knowing Him" is dependent upon relationship, which is cultivated through time spent in His presence. The result of all this is an evident change within us.

I am reminded of a song, "There was a time O Lord, my heart did not keep pace. I followed thee afar, I did not seek thy face. Your nature was to me a hidden mystery, until I caught a glimpse - within the veil."

A student recently shared in Chapel about "flexibility." Brother Taylor followed by saying: "There is a name for flexibility, it is called "Wisdom." Much knowledge will destroy, but a little wisdom will accomplish much. Knowledge is information and facts. Wisdom is the right application of these facts. It is important for us to be flexible in the Lord through the wisdom He provides." "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5.

In the days ahead at Pinecrest is; the Memorial Day Convention in May; the Former Student Reunion in June; the July 4th convention and 4 weeks of Summer Vacation Bible School in July, and the Youth week in August. There is an unusual expression of interest in all these.

If you have a desire to be a part of any of these, we are praying that the provision of time and means will be made for you to come to Pinecrest during these times.

May you be strengthened in mind, heart, and spirit, to continue to follow on to "Know the Lord."
