"I am much afraid that the universities will prove to be the great gates of hell, unless they diligently
labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures, and engraving them in the hearts of youth.
I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which
men are not unceasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.”
-- Martin Luther

find a great husband or get a great career. Our goal for them is to love a great God.”
