In Solomon’s three messages on Matt. 11:25-30, he spoke on “Come to Me,” the central paradigm to the Christian life is not “doing” or “being,” but “being with.” “Take My Yoke” differentiates between holy restlessness vs. neurotic, nervous restlessness. “Learn from Me” is becoming like Jesus as we deeply imbibe His Word and imitate His Walk.
“The pew cannot rise above the pulpit,” declared Emeritus Bishop Solomon. The minister must spend adequate time in the open bible.
Besides the plenary messages, the staff and students were able to spend rich time with the Lord personally, in worship as a community, enjoying the fellowship and food, and having fun together as a school. Praise God for a great “soulful” start to a new semester!
