Faith Statement

I teach primarily history and the history of the world IS the story of God, as he is the one “declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose’” (Isaiah 46:10). How awesome and wonderful to live in this world that he created, knowing that he knows the past and the future and has written all of it. I count it a privilege to study history, always remembering who is the author of it all.
