Methods: Self-reported data from accredited program directors was analyzed to identify what relationships, if any, existed among the variables. Results: Results showed no effect of instructor-to-student ratios or academic preparation on retention rates. However, those programs that utilized selective admissions processes reported a statistically significantly higher student retention rate when compared to those that did not. Conclusions: Paramedic programs seeking to improve retention rates should consider utilizing a selective admissions process.

While God is indeed a God of immense love, that love is demonstrated in actions and specifically his judgemental actions against any and all things that stand opposed to his holiness and to the holiness of his people. This work will examine the love and wrath of God in various ways. First of all, an analysis of the development of the doctrines of God's love and wrath will be conducted. From this analysis, an examination of modern definitions will follow in an attempt to develop a working definition of divine love that takes wrath into consideration. That working definition will then be evaluated in light of Scripture, as it illustrates the love of God. Finally, a discussion of modern implications of the divine love, as defined here, will be provided to conclude the research. Instead of God's love not including wrath and judgement, this paper seeks to demonstrate that in order for God to truly be a God of love, the divine love must be inextricably linked to God's wrath and hatred specifically against that which harms the object of his love.
