The Wikipedia Effect



The WIKIGOSPEL… 'Quick, Easy, Convenient'

As many already know, Wikipedia is a website, setup in 2001, considered a Top 40 Web site with broader reach than the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC.com, Wall Street Journal, and Chicago Tribune combined. Wikipedia has about 2.4 billion page views a month, and is visited by 7 per cent of ALL Internet users everyday. Despite this success Wikipedia is still hampered by its inability to guarantee that information appearing on the website is true. It includes more than two million entries in English and covers 252 languages. However, its unique structure, by which anybody can add, remove or edit information, is at once its strength and weakness.

The “wiki” format, which takes its name from the Hawaiian word for “quick”, means it can draw on a vast pool of expertise from individuals all over the world, it is also vulnerable to deliberate abuse. Many companies and individuals are known to keep an eye on their own entries, inserting promotional material and removing potentially embarrassing details. More insidiously, some users engage in deliberate vandalism, deleting whole passages of text or inserting errors.

The gospel is the good news of God's saving grace to all mankind. It is the message of the cross and sacrifice Jesus gave on Calvary. Jesus death is the example of the process of salvation for all Christians everywhere to follow. It illustrates suffering, rejection, sacrifice, pain, subjection to a higher authority.
Jesus was in every way born to die. This was His purpose and essence. It is also our purpose and essence to die out to our own sinful desires.

The mix-up occurs in the nature of gospel as good news. This does not mean it is quick, easy, or convenient, only that it is good
. The gospel provides the only way of escape… it never claimed to be easy. In fact those who carried the gospel initially faced great martyrdom, persecution, and public ridicule. The Apostles were not without warning- as Jesus constantly warned of the difficulty in carrying the gospel to the world. He said if the world hated Him, they would also hate His followers. He said in Acts 1:8 that those carrying the gospel would give their lives in the process.

This is the old way of doing "Christianity". The appeal was in the passion, commitment, and desire to know the truth.
It was established firmly in martyrdom and it worked every time. It was approved by God Himself.

Compare it to yesterday's the Encyclopedia Britannica sold door to door which sat on the shelf waiting for the reader to use it, unlocking its secrets and information and guidance. Like the 12 volume set in the bookcase, the gospel is bound and established. Its methods of spreading and relating information are updated generation to generation with newer volumes but the information is still the same. The definition of a cat is still a cat.

In 2001 things changed for the encyclopedia business. Gone are the door to door salesmen, proclaiming the greatness of their information. Even the existing copies of encyclopedias have been rendered mere relics decorating library shelves collecting dust, its information unused and undisturbed by seekers.

The Internet killed the business with it's creation of the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world, Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is not like the encyclopedia before it.

In its effort to be a quick, easy, and convenient resource the game has been changed for every of life… namely the world of Christianity and religion, which has been searching for its identity to present to a new and uncertain generation. In doing so… religion, Christian churches everywhere, to keep up with the times, have begun to forsake the old gospel, for the new quick, easy, and convenient WIKIGOSPEL.

Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-7

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come .
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, high minded , lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away .
6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7. Ever learning , and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.


Paul gives a long list of how people will be in their lifestyle in the last days… but what most people fail to comprehend is that he is not referring to the world or sinners or even the Antichrist… Paul makes clear in verse five that he is referring to the Church of the living God, those who have a form of godliness but deny the information… the power that Godliness reveals!

How wikipedia has destroyed the encyclopedia, the wikigospel will attack the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Already gone are the door to door expressions and lifestyles of faith… replaced with fancy music and life style programs. Gone are the hills of crucifixion, martyrdom, and the Roman arenas of persecution… replaced with large fancy buildings and houses of worship, buildings the early church could not have even comprehended. Most importantly, gone are the messages of suffering, rejection, sacrifice, pain, and subjection to the will of God.

The WikiGospel will seek to replace the pain of Christ's sacrifice… with an easy 'blessed' overcoming life free of problems (Prosperity Doctrine), replace the authority of God with the authority of man, (Paul in Romans 1:they are lovers of themselves and pleasure more than lovers of God, they are traitors to the gospel, intellectuals always searching but never able to find truth because they have already rejected it as hard, slow, and inconvenient).

The gospel says go. The wikigospel says follow and enjoy the journey.


Remember wikipreachers of the wikigospel are always ready to lead away 'silly' people captive in their sins… by preaching a gospel of no sacrifice, no change, no requirements… follow, learn, journey… but never find!

Basic Training: Exorcise 1 -Know Your Enemy




Preview for this Sunday Service- 1 Timothy Chapter One
(Our Campus Church will been studying the Apostle Paul's two letters to Timothy for the next two semesters)

We are excited to announce our new sermon series 'Basic Training: A Field Manual for the Christian Soldier' at the Movement Campus Church. Over the next two semesters, we will be examining Paul's instructions to Timothy in the model of the US Army's Basic Training Program- Red (tear down the civilian mentality) White (recreate the soldier) and Blue (equip and train the soldier with necessary tools for warfare.)

In the first chapter of the first letter to Timothy, Paul quickly begins tearing down the civilian mentality by establishing the chain of command. God- Paul- Timothy. We must also establish the same order. God- Pastor- Church.

Paul then begins to tear apart any illusions that Timothy may have towards his environment and surroundings. Paul is quick to illustrate that we are in fact at war, and before engaging in Battle we must know who are our enemies.

1- Those who proclaim friendship by swerve from truth. (Traitors)
2- Those who promote and proclaim a lifestyle of sin. (Enemies of God)
3- Our own sinful flesh.


Finally Paul concludes with the indoctrination of the cause of righteousness. That Jesus calls Christian Soldiers out of darkness to train them to overcome that same darkness and proclaim the coming of our Captain and savior the Lord Jesus Christ.

Please Join us this week at 1pm (3-27-2010) in the Krannert Auditorium on the Purdue University Campus in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Letters to the Cross: Victory!



This Sunday at Christ Memorial Temple we will be continuing our Easter Sermon series called Letters to the Cross. Over the five Sundays in March, we will be examining the doctrines of the Cross and how it applies to us today.

Week One: Substitutionary Atonement
Week Two: Justification
Week Three: Redemption and Reconciliation
Week Four: Propitiation and Expiation
Week Five: Victory

Week Five Introduction: It was 2000 years ago… what does the Cross do today?

Death is Swallowed Up in Victory

It pleases God to confound the wisdom of this world with folly

When the Apostle Paul wrote these words in 1 Corinthians the first chapter, he made a minuscule dent into the human understanding of the mysterious nature of God, yet his revelation is all we have to build upon.

In the cross we can see the nature of God in action.

In atonement- God is gracious, in justification- God is forgiving, in redemption- God is delivering, in propitiation- God is angry. Through endless study and prayer we may understand these attributes, but never will we truly understand how in death- God is victorious!

Death is final, complete. Death is the ultimate defeat. Death is our greatest failure and final punishment.

This would not be our strategy for victory and it certainly wasn't Satan's plan.

But in the death of Jesus- we have the greatest victory.

Paul writes in Colossians chapter two, We, being dead in our sins and our flesh, are quickened with Jesus; who blotted out the ordinances against us and contrary to us, which Jesus took out of the way,and nailed them to his cross; having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them.

When the prophet Isaiah proclaimed, Surely you are a God Who hides he wasn't joking.


At Calvary, Jesus Christ defeated Death and Hell, triumphing openly over Satan, demons, principalities and powers. He beat them at their own game.

Jesus was God, hiding Himself as a sinful man, pouring out his life in defeat to reign victorious over all. Our adversary, came in like a flood, as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. But we are not ignorant of his devices.

Satan has two main strategies, that together, provide a lethal combination destroying everyman since our father Adam.
1- He is the tempter: Appealing to our pride of life, our lust of the flesh, and our lust of the eyes.
2- He is the accuser of the brethern: After we have fallen through temptation into sin, Satan proclaims the law as evidence against us.
3- Because above all, Satan is the Destroyer: Jesus said, He is come to steal, kill, and destroy.

The evidence complete, the verdict is rendered. But when all hope was lost, and every ordinance was against us, God came to us. Not as a conquering king or a triumphant warrior, but as the image of sinful flesh, He defeated sin in the flesh. He was in all points tempted as we, and sinned not.

Jesus defeated the tempter in life. And overcame the accuser in death, nailing each and every accusation against His children to His cross.


And hanging from the cross of death, as hell and the grave enveloped Him, Jesus proclaimed in a loud voice, It is finished!

Hidden as a dying and condemned man, Jesus openly defeated Death and Hell. He destroyed the Destroyer. So that with Him we may say O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ


And that is what the cross does today! It is our Victory!

Letters to the Cross: Week 4 Propiation and Expiation



This Sunday at Christ Memorial Temple we will be continuing our Easter Sermon series called Letters to the Cross. Over the five Sundays in March, we will be examining the doctrines of the Cross and how it applies to us today.

Week One: Substitutionary Atonement
Week Two: Justification
Week Three: Redemption and Reconciliation
Week Four: Propitiation and Expiation
Week Five: Victory

Week Four Introduction: It was 2000 years ago… what does the Cross do today?


God is angry.

He is not just angry at sin. He is angry at us.


We humans are guilty of reversing God's creative order… instead of being made in the image and likeness of God… we are continually remaking God in our own image and likeness. In Biblical times, this manifested in stone carved idols and wooden images. Today our idolatry manifests itself into the abstract images of time management. Our gods fit our time schedule. What we have time for, that we worship. Therefore we need a much more understanding and merciful God… than they did in the Old Testament. We need a new Jesus.

Christians today draw a large line between the Old and New Testaments. It's as if the God of the Old Testament and Jesus were two separate people entirely. (You would think Oneness theology would help avoid this pitfall but not so .) We seem think that O.T. God was going through a hormonal imbalance High School phase; one minute He is welding lightning bolts and fire balls, the next minute He is pouring out manna from the sky. Jesus, in contrast, is God in His fourth semester of college who has discovered His identity as a philosopher and walks around loving everyone and forgiving all our misdeeds. O.T. God was into smiting, N.T. God was into suffering. In between these crazy definitions is the true God, who claims to be 'unchanging and eternal' of whom the writer of Hebrews boldly declared as "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)

If we believe Jesus is truly the One God we claim Him to be, we must not label His nature so differently from the Hebraic revelation of God. The New Testament reveals more in depth the attribute of God's love but it does nothing to discourage the attribute of God's wrath and judgment. Jesus, too got angry. He hit men with whips and cords, He overthrew tables. He told the Pharisees they 'were going to hell and making converts twice the hell spawns.' He told them they were children of the Devil. Jesus, consistent with O.T. Jesus has always hated false holiness. The Bible constantly reveals the attribute of God's Holiness. It records His holiness more than it speaks of His love or mercy. In short God is Holy. We are not. And that keeps God very angry.

The saying, God loves the sinner but hates the sin, sounds nice and non confrontational, but it is not Biblical (Psalms 5:5, Romans 9:13). God loves everyone at creation, but He equally hates us in our evil deeds. A man can love someone and still be vengefully angry at the same time. Often we punish those whom we love. The mercy of God is in the fact that Bible says God is slow to anger… not without it. He hates our sin because it defiles us completely in the same way that a wife would hate her adulterous husband (she has anger because she loves him, if there was not love there would be no emotion). In a very real way, God's hatred of our sin shows how much He actually loves us. We share this disgust toward sin with God, however we tend to only be disgusted at the sin of others and not at our own.

All sin is ultimately against God as it fractures His relationship with His children, and that is just cause for anger. In Genesis , God is grieved with the sight of man, and Jesus would later say in Matthew, "As it was in the days of Noah…" Like a father who returns home to be informed that his children have chosen a new dad, or a husband that finds out his wife has chosen a new man… God is righteously angry! Our idolatry and worship of the creature more than the Creator invokes the wrath of God.

It is going to get bloody.

Welcome to savage church. Imagine church as a place where we drive up our cars and the ministry staff uses baseball bats to destroy it before setting the engine on fire. Then the next week, you are forced to bring your family pet (dog or cat), and stand on the platform, in front of the entire congregation and place your hands on the animals head to confess all your deepest and darkest secrets. Afterward, the preacher would take the pet from your arms and cut its throat as the animal would squirm and yelp. Does this sound very seeker sensitive? Does it seem too graphic, watching your loved possessions suffering and being destroyed even though they were not to blame? We are to blame. We are guilty. We are the real Goats.

This is how church is conducted without Jesus. Where a sinner comes face to face with the consequences of their sin.


Like savages that try to appease God by throwing a girl into a volcano or offering a blonde to King Kong, there is instinctual understanding that God is angry, His judgment is nigh, and we have a bull's-eye painted on our heads. Our sins put Christ on the cross, our status as sinners made us enemies of God, and our willingness to live in sin makes us slaves. Put all of this together and the Jonathan Edwards sermon, "Sinners in the hands of an angry God comes to mind. The streets are ready to run red with blood, Armageddon style. Cue the fire balls. It's the end of the world as we know it…

In this is Love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His son to be the Propitiation for our sins.(1 John 4:10)


That is what the cross is today… our propitiation. When the blood of goats and bulls could not take away our sins or appease the wrath of God, Jesus satisfied all on Calvary.

Letters to the Cross: Redemption and Reconciliation



This Sunday at Christ Memorial Temple we will be continuing our Easter Sermon series called Letters to the Cross. Over the five Sundays in March, we will be examining the doctrines of the Cross and how it applies to us today.

Week One: Substitutionary Atonement
Week Two: Justification
Week Three: Redemption and Reconciliation
Week Four: Propitiation and Expiation
Week Five: Victory

Week Three Introduction: It was 2000 years ago… what does the Cross do today?

You Are What You Eat

Our socioeconomic status is revealed by what we eat. In college anyone could tell how well I was doing financially by a quick tour of my refrigerator. Between the handfuls of Taco Bell fire sauce, the jar of expired relish, and the pot of leftover ramen noodles, one could easily ascertain my quality of life.

As you climb the economic ladder, you discover foods that are as rare as they are easily pronounced. ES-CAR-GO -(the T is silent... trust me I learned the hard way).

The point being: we are what we eat. No where else is this better illustrated than Jesus parable of the prodigal son, in the 15th chapter of Luke. This is the parable of Redemption and Reconciliation.

It must be noted that Jesus tells this parable to group of sinners and tax-collectors. Jesus message on that day was simple and pure: You don't have to stay in bondage... I am looking for you.

Sweet Redemption

Redemption is word that is thrown around too lightly in today's brand of Christianity. It has become akin to simply being saved from sin. This is only partly true because it misses the key element of reconciliation and response. Redemption throughout the Bible refers to slavery and bondage. We cannot be redeemed until we admit that we are not free. There is bad news before there is good news.

The prodigal son took his inheritance into a far country and spent frivolously. For a season his food intake looked like his excess wealth... that is until the famine came. The son thought he was living free of obedience when in reality he was living free of righteousness as a slave to his own passions and desires (Romans 6:16)

We are bound by death or we are bound by life. We are slaves to sin or slaves to Christ.

Eventually sin revealed itself a cruel master, and the son found himself living with swine and eating their husks. Sin had led him to a form lower than humanity. Yet even in the mire, the son could hear his father's voice.

We can not atone ourselves for sin nor can we justify ourselves before God, but in redemption we DO have a response."Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so!" Like the children of Israel in Egypt, like the prodigal son we too can cry out to God in our slavery and bondage. In justification, atonement, and redemption the cross comes to us, but only in redemption can we meet our salvation.

Jesus said His mission was to seek and to save the lost. Some people are never found because they do not respond to the voice of the cross, the voice of redemption. Like the lost sheep, Jesus is looking for the slaves among the swine. His redemption is for those who wait on Him (Titus 2:13-14)

We have five responses to redemption:
Conviction (Luke 15:17)We 'come to ourselves' and realize we are indeed slaves.
Confession (17) We cannot be redeemed unless we confess our need for it.
Repentance (18) We are transformed from darkness to light. Our sin is against God.
Restitution (19) Willing to work for the will of God over our own will.

Finally, the 5th response to redemption is Reconciliation (20-23)

It is amazing that many want to be saved from their predicaments, but few want to return home to a real relationship to God. But there is no redemption without reconciliation. When God calls us out of darkness we must come home and not return to the slavery to sin. The son returned to his father's house, to find that He had been looking for his return daily. No more eating pig food... only the fatted calf was good enough for this occasion.

The cross of Jesus says that we are NOT banished to the swine field, we are NOT bound in darkness and sin. The cross of Jesus trades the burden of sin for the easy yoke of salvation. But not only liberation and freedom... but a return home to be with our father (2 Corinthians 5:19). And that is what the Cross does today... it redeems us and then reconciles us to God.

Letters to the Cross: Justifcation


This Sunday at Christ Memorial Temple we will be continuing our Easter Sermon series called Letters to the Cross. Over the five Sundays in March, we will be examining the doctrines of the Cross and how it applies to us today.

Week One: Substitutionary Atonement
Week Two: Justification
Week Three: Redemption and Reconciliation
Week Four: Propitiation and Expiation
Week Five: Victory

Week Two Introduction: It was 2000 years ago… what does the Cross do today?

We have the right to remain silent… anything we think, say, or act will be used against us. When we could not afford an attorney, One was provided for us.


In the book of Zechariah, the third chapter, Satan is called the accuser of the brethren- the prosecutor of the guilty. We are the guilty, the accused.
Yet, we do not stand alone… the High Priest (Hebrews reveals as Jesus) stands with us in account for the accused people as Satan argues against us and "resists" us.
Satan has plenty of evidence that testifies to our guilt. He produces endless lists of accusations each and every one of them a damnable offense.
Worse still, the High Priest, our attorney is clothed in filthy rags and garments, the sins of His people (3).

Even our very appearance testifies against us. We are guilty and we cannot escape our punishment of death. Satan's evidence has no answer and we hang our heads in shame and condemnation.


Suddenly, when all hope seems lost, the righteous King and Judge rebukes the prosecutor (2) and takes away the filthy sins of the people for a new perfect raiment (4).

Satan is defeated at Calvary, his accusations cannot come through the blood of the lamb. "Behold all things have become new." Our counselor has made intercession for us and Satan cannot overcome it.
So our weak and wounded accuser must change His tactics and approach. If Satan cannot beat our counselor in the court of Judgment and Justice than he must even the playing field.

He must convince us to represent ourselves before judgment and forgo the court appointed lawyer High Priest… He wants us to become our own justification.

Satan hates the cross because it by itself is our justification. Because of the cross of Jesus we don’t suffer the same fate of damnation that Satan will receive.
As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:17, when it becomes about us and our wisdom… "it makes the cross of no effect"

The only way around the cross for Satan is if He can get us to rely on ourselves instead of on Jesus sacrifice.


There are two ways we can become our own justification:


1- Morality- This is when we put our eternal security in the hands of the great checklist of our own accomplishments and the way we lived our lives.


People justify themselves daily with thoughts such as "I am a good person" and "I follow a good code of conduct"
They give to charity, love others, follow the rules that society places upon them. They believe in the end that they will get to heaven and two great list will be produced.
If the lists of their good deeds outnumber the lists of their bad deeds than they are a good person and therefore are rewarded of eternal life based on their own merits.

This would work if the Bible didn’t proclaim the exact opposite of this ridiculous salvation theory… By the way if this theory did not come from God (meaning it is not found in scripture) it could have only come from one other source (Satan)

Instead Job, in the book named after him, asks God the question of what man is justified to stand in the presence of God. David proclaims multiple times in the book of Psalms, that there is none good but God.
Paul quotes this idea in the book of Romans 3:10 when he relates, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."

We cannot save ourselves through our own goodness. We are not good. From the very second that Adam and Eve tasted the fruit we are sinners and we have all sinned, making ourselves enemies of God Himself. Yet so many today reject God on the basis that they are good enough on their own. Their goodness in life will prepare a place for them in eternity… this is true- unfortunately that place will be hell.

2- Religion- This is when we put our eternal security in the hands of the great checklist of what we have abstained from, the things we did NOT do over the course of our lives.
First, religion is not altogether evil. It is as much a tool in the hand of God as it is a tool in the hand of Satan. For many, including myself, religion has provided a system of belief and a structure for maintaining my relationship with God. Religion does help us walk the path of salvation but it in itself cannot save us. Unfortunately, many Christians have been manipulated by Satan to rely on it for their justification instead of the Cross of Jesus Christ.

For some our salvation is won through our strict adherence to a list of DO NOTS than its is on the justification of the cross. (I must take the time to reiterate that the cross is also an example for us in the measure of obedience as Paul writes in Philippians 2 that Jesus 'became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.' It is clear that we must obey to commandments of scripture - to do or not to do. If we do not obey it is sin… see James 4:17)

Disobedience to a list of DO NOTS CAN produce damnation, but it CANNOT produce salvation. Satan wants the church to rely on its religiosity over the cross of Jesus Christ.

This idea is destructive for many reason because it leads us to the following heresies:

1- Jesus will only love us if we follow His rules- A lie from Satan- Jesus loved us from the cross.
2- The world is full of good people (religious) and bad people (sinners) and religiosity is the measure stick by which we can measure the goodness of others. Another lie- There is none good, even the most religious among us.
3- Religion is about what we do… wrong the Gospel is about what Jesus has already done!
4- Religion will save me in the end. A lie because how much religion is enough to make you sure? How can we ever be certain that we have crossed the invisible threshold of salvation by church attendance, tithe paying, and Sunday school teaching. How can we achieve salvation by never smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, wearing makeup? Shouldn’t we obey scripture without the reward of salvation?


In the end, God reserves some of the most graphic language in the Bible for describing His attitude toward our righteousness.
Isaiah 64:6 says, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. "

First- ALL of us are unclean. Second, EVERYTHING good that we do (our righteousness) God calls 'ED BEGED...

'ED- this is the word used for filthy which is the Hebrew word for the bodily fluids of a woman's menstrual cycle.
BEGED- this is the word referring to a rag or an undergarment.

Basically God is saying that the sum total of our morality and our religion adherence is a woman's menstrual rag. A filthy rag can be washed, but a menstrual rag is unusable and always discarded.
Satan wants us to justify ourselves, because then we cannot resist His accusations. But Jesus Christ was "made to be our sin" so that "we might become the righteousness of God"

We cannot justify ourselves… it is God who justifies us. And that is what the Cross does today. It Justifies!

Quit Your Dead-End Job



Preview for this Sunday Service- John 21

(Our Campus Church has been studying the Gospel of John for the past two semesters)


In the 21st and FINAL chapter, the disciple whom Jesus loved (John), records the story of Jesus third revelation to the disciples after His resurrection.

In our lesson we will ask the all important question on the minds of students nation-wide, "What Now?" We will explore together the human tendency to return to what is normal, stable, or comfortable when staring in the face of uncertainty.

Even after three years of a life altering relationship with Jesus, including witnessing His rise from death, Peter, John and the rest of the Apostles were caught in a state of limbo, asking the question of what to do next. Peter's response to the situation was to "Go fishing" and the rest of the group seemed content to tag along.
Their solution was to return to their old way, old habits, old dead end job.

They forgot the calling of Jesus to something more, more purpose, more passion, more life. They were no longer fishers but fishers of men.

We will discover that once the Son has set us free... we cannot go back. Even if we do- like Peter and the gang- we are quick to discover that we lost our touch for this world after an experience with Jesus.

We want to remember our true purpose in this world, to be more than average, more than conquerors. And like Peter we will discover that the solution is not LEADING job hunts but FOLLOWING Jesus.

Please Join us this week at 1pm (3-7-2010) in the Krannert Auditorium on the Purdue University Campus in West Lafayette, Indiana.
