Some say that Christianity is responsible for many evils in history. That it is anti-intellectual. Opposed to progress, reason, and science. As you reach your world, you may encounter people who feel this way. I want to remind you that Christians throughout history have been responsible for much good. They have been responsible for some of the best music and art. Some of the most important advances in science and medicine. And they were the original founders of many of the universities, hospitals, and charitable organizations we still have today. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth- these were all founded as Christian institutions. In music and science consider Bach, Galileo, and Sir Isaac Newton, to name just a few. You see, Christians have advanced science. Made beautiful art and music. Founded excellent academic institutions. Cared for the sick and poor… Christians have been responsible for so much good throughout history! God told the prophet Jeremiah, “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have sent you" [Jeremiah 29:7]. How are you seeking “the peace and prosperity” of your city and society in general? Let’s continue the legacy of these great men and women who have gone before us. What will you do to reach your world?               This is Luis Palau.
