Truth s work is never done. There are no signs separating blacks and whites but in many places on this campus you can almost see the invisible walls. It s not easy and I do not pretend to have all the answers, but I do know that it begins within each one of us. Things will not change in our world unless you and I get involved in changing them. The fire of change must be fueled by people who are convinced that God s truth is the foundation of freedom.
Talk is good, but action is better.
You and I will have to take deliberate steps, well thought out steps, to break down barriers of fear and build bridges of friendship and that task is never easy. Living the truth is always risky. If we want the world to change, if we want this campus to be different then we can t wait for someone else to do the work. The spreading of truth and freedom begins with each one of us. Be a part of God s work in this world.
