My Calling
God has brought me to Cedarville to encourage students to think biblically about their business careers. Thus I enjoy seeing the connective links between economics and Scripture and to put these into practice in the classroom and in life. It brings a great deal of joy to me to be able to see all of life from God’s perspective. Though the term "calling" is not used in Scripture to specify a particular vocation or even an avocation the student can view his career in business as a "ministry" for the glory of God and to impact the Kingdom.
