Yesterday, Keith Darrell and I spent the afternoon on the campus of UC Santa Barbara. Known for its beautiful seaside location, reputation as a "party school," and 15,000 bicycles, UC Santa Barbara, like every university campus, is a place filled with people who need the gospel.

Let Us Go to Him Outside the Camp
"So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
