We are living in an age
that has been labeled "The Option Society."
Translated into everyday experience, it means you make
innumerable daily decisions based on a glut of choices.
Satellite dishes atop homes allow families to receive
hundreds of television channels. The department store,
Nordstrom, recently offered a choice of more than 20
million pairs of shoes tailored precisely to customer
specifications. As you view this web site, it is staggering
to realize that there are more than a billion other
web pages on the Internet for you to surf.
When it comes to selecting a college or university,
you are once again faced with a myriad of choices. Over
3,600 institutions of higher education in America compete
for your consideration. Among your options there is
one that is distinctive, PHILADELPHIA BIBLICAL UNIVERSITY.
PBU exists to serve the true and living God of the
Bible by serving students who are eager to know Him
and His Son, Jesus Christ. The University provides students
with multiple choices for careers in the church and
in the marketplace.
This University values intellect, character, spirituality
and service for Jesus Christ. Each student is important
to a highly-trained faculty committed to strengthening
students' knowledge of God's Word, providing an understanding
of the world in which they live, and creating ways in
which they can develop their abilities for God's service.
I often speak of Philadelphia Biblical University as
the "University with a Sword and a Soul."
On the one hand, the unifying core of this University
is the Holy Bible, referred to in Scripture as a sword
because of its ability to penetrate every person with
its powerful message. On the other hand, PBU is a family
of persons—students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees
and friends— with a passion for people's spiritual,
social and physical needs. It is a University with a
soul.
Choosing to attend PBU could be the first of many important
decisions that will determine your future.
