Theme Verse
Each year William Carey University chooses an annual theme that is designed to provide an idea for us to focus on and to unify the campus. The theme for 2023-24 comes from Ephesians 6:13
"Therefore, put on the full armor of God."
The Apostle Paul admonishes believers to “stand” like a warrior poised for spiritual battle against the evil of this world. While in prison, Paul was surrounded by Roman guards fully arrayed with military regalia. Paul uses the important pieces of the military armor to explain how believers are to engage in the spiritual war waged against them. Just as Roman soldiers are prepared, Christians are to put on spiritual armor that equips them for spiritual war (Ephesians 6:10-13).
