If

Please be in prayer for me this week. I'm very disgusted by the lack of either Christian perspective or care for the Body of Christ by believers on campus. I'm just thinking in the following terms:

First, let's just assume Jesus is right in front of you.
Second, let's assume that you don't know how long you have to live.
Third, let's assume it's important how you live your life, and that honoring God is good.

If you were given the choice of getting together with fellow believers to pray and share about ministry or doing homework, which would you choose? Would you even ask Jesus which option He would choose?

Unless God has vocally spoken to you that you need to work on homework rather than gather with believers....that's messed up

It's sickening. Jesus saw the rich young ruler, the guy had everything going for him, he had money, he followed all the commandments since his youth, JESUS LOVED HIM
and boom, Jesus doesn't pander and say, well, come join me half the time or when you feel like it. Come or don't come.


I'm not saying people can't do things for the glory of God....but that's just it, it has to keep His glory in the forefront, and I'm pretty sure one isn't thinking with His glory in the forefront if they aren't participating in the 2nd greatest commandment...specifically with the brethren.

If you died tomorrow, would your life have been wasted trying to get "somewhere else" rather than purposeful by engaging where you're at?

To be a Christian is to be called to a life cleaved from the kingdom of this world and joined to God's Kingdom. Let's not confuse our sovereigns.
