The Scripture text:

II Cor 10:5 - "Casting down imaginations" is our theme.

II Corinthians 10:5 states:

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (KJV)

We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,  (New American Standard Bible).

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.  (New International Version)

The date:

1986 is the year that ABC was founded under the original name MCNEESE BIBLE ACADEMY.

Veritas:

The word "VERITAS" is a Latin term that means "Truth". Ribbons represent victory. Hence, where there is truth there is a victory. At ABC, we firmly believe:  "magna est veritas et praevalebit" (lat.) truth is mighty and will prevail.
