Unfolding the Life Canvas of Loving God and Loving Others
Lord Jesus asked Peter three times, "Do you love me?" After Peter repeatedly affirmed his love, Jesus commanded him three times, "Feed my sheep!" Loving God and loving others is a required course for every child of God who follows Him. We thank God for His grace that allows us to receive training at CCST Vancouver. Here, we not only gained theological knowledge but also experienced, like Peter, the practice of loving God and others in our daily studies and lives.
The solid foundation built at the seminary helps us face real challenges and battles on the ministry field without panic. We understand that these are necessary steps in the journey of spiritual growth. When we feel weak or discouraged, the words of encouragement and exhortation from our professors often echo in our hearts: “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you” (Hebrews 13:17).
We also often return to the seminary to meet with professors, alumni, and fellow students, sharing love and encouragement. This seminary family is our harbor of renewal and a fueling station of love. We are able to love because God first loved us!
