SERVITUDE ............
We
should not be seeking the recognition of the present world system
above recognition of Him who created all things . It is The One True
Creator that we are to serve .
1 PETER 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not
themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you
through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
1 PETER 1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,
MATHEW 10:28 Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy
both soul and body in hell.

R.C Sproul :
"We have seen countless examples of universities, colleges, and
seminaries chartered with a strong commitment to orthodox Christianity,
only to erode first into liberalism and ultimately to secularism. Why
did this happen? There are multiple, complex reasons for the apostasy
of such institutions, but one key factor is the desire of professors to
be intellectually recognized in the academic world. A slavish
genuflection to the latest trends in academia seduces our leaders into
conformity. One apologist once described this pattern as the “treason
of the intellectuals”. If the secular establishment ridicules such
tenets as the inspiration of the Bible, then insecure Christian
professors, desperate to be accepted by their peers, quickly flee from
orthodoxy, dragging the colleges, seminaries, and ultimately the
churches with them. It is a weighty price to pay for academic
recognition."
