The Sweet Dropper loves Reformed University Fellowship (RUF), the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. And we love and pray for those men who are called to serve as campus ministers. Thus, an ‘ave atque vale’ for The Rev. Dustin Salter, who was called from the Church Militant to the Church Triumphant on 19 March, after suffering severe head injuries in a wreck while cycling last November. Dustin was RUF campus minister at Furman University and had previously started the work at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Glenn Lucke wrote this tribute for Common Grounds Online. We remember Dustin’s family and students in our prayers.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” (Rev. 21: 1-7)
