Flip at Nebraska Christian Graduation

Nebraska Christian School is building lives for eternity. Today's youth are lost in a secular culture that neglects discipline, order and principles. Their minds are consistently grabbed by the loud, materialistic and even vulgar voice of society that values possessions, experience and gratification more than the Lord Jesus Christ. Our school is on a mission...and as administrator of that school, I am on a mission. My mission is to engage today's youth with the timeless charges of Scripture, encouraging them to break from today's secular culture and equipping them to stand on the truth of Jesus Christ.

This weekend, Rev. Flip Benham spoke to a packed house at the Nebraska Christian School graduation ceremony in Central City, Nebraska. The stage was set for heaven to open up....and did it ever open! The crowd of parents, family and friends gathered from across the state to watch 39 seniors receive their diplomas. It was crowded and hot in that little gym on the plains of Nebraska and it was going to get warmer. The first speaker was Becca Brill. She stepped to the plate and made a Gospel presentation that opened up heaven. No one sitting in that place will be without excuse. Next up was senior, Sam Krug who spoke of the great leaders of this class and their great accomplishments. He concluded that this all is meaningless without the Lord. Sam gave Jesus the honor and glory for it all.

After the warm up was over, Pastor Flip opened up the preaching with the fact that Satan wants to kill all of us. He let the parents and seniors know that 33% of their classmates had already been killed by abortion. You could have heard a pin drop in the crowd of 900+. He continued with the fact that the devil now wants to steal, destroy and take us out of the picture. That's right! There is a war raging for the hearts and minds of the youth of America . Flip encouraged fathers to lay their lives down for their children and for the young men in the audience to run to the roar. Every eye was fixed and every ear was at attention as Pastor Flip proclaimed the truth of God's Word.

I have been in the education business for over twenty years, and this graduation was the best. It gave honor to the Lord Jesus Christ. There were several public school kids in attendance and a couple of them said that you will never see that kind of graduation ceremony in a public school setting. It really isn't rocket science. When you kick God out and say that He is not welcome, then don't expect heaven to open up. Praise the Lord for a time of Pastor Flip giving 'em heaven!

Lord willing, we'll see many of you in Jackson, MS in July. I plan on bringing my family and maybe a couple of our students from Nebraska Christian. Keep stormin' the gates!
