In an inspiring chapel service this semester, Foursquare President Randy Remington returned to Life Pacific University, his alma mater, to share a powerful message on the biblical call to kindness. President Randy, who graduated from LPU with his bachelor’s degree and his master’s degree, reminded students, faculty, and staff of the importance of embodying Christ-like kindness in a world that often values power.
Drawing from scripture and his own leadership experience, Remington emphasized that gentleness and kindness is not a sign of weakness but a strength that flows from humility and reliance on God. “God’s kindness leads us to repentance, the place where change happens,” he said.
His visit was a meaningful moment for the LPU community, especially as he continues to lead the global Foursquare Church. President Randy’s message was met with deep reflection, and his connection to LPU brought a sense of life to the chapel service, inspiring students to integrate kindness into their daily walk of faith. LPU is blessed by President Randy and the Foursquare Church’s continued partnership and investment in our institution!
Watch President Randy Remington’s chapel message.
Join the LPU chapel livestream every Tuesday and Wednesday, from 10:20-11:20 am.
