How do we balance the Christian life and church life with our student life? I too, was wondering what’s the answer to this question. As students, I think, we all go “through this tunnel” and we all “cross this bridge”. Sometimes I struggle between trying to figure out whether I should go to the meetings, the Bible studies, etc. or whether I should stay home and study [continue reading online[
Being a Christian Student on the Campus – normal students who enjoy the Lord
When I first hit university, my initial thought was that I also want to be like the serving ones on campus, preaching the gospel, getting into the truth and enjoy the Lord with others 24/7. That was when reality (no pun intended) hit me: How can I be a student and still enjoy the Lord? I cannot just enjoy the Lord because then I fail my exams, and I cannot just study because then I do not enjoy the Lord and I become dry. How do you balance the two?
being a Christian student on the campus – how much time do I give to the Lord?
There is a common conflict in college – How much time do I give to the Lord? There is no formula or recipe for this. However, there are some fundamental principles. It is good to go to the Lord first and fellowship with Him. See how much time He wants from you. The Lord will never ask more than you can give. With that being said, you must realize that you are in school to learn and to do the best you possibly can. That must be your main focus.
when we move out of ourselves and into the Triune God, we are one and even perfected into one!
Saints, the Lord Jesus knows our problem. He knows that we need to abide in Him so that He may abide in us and bear fruit in us (John 15:1-15). What does it mean, in this context, to abide in the Lord? It means that we need to move out of ourselves and into the Triune God as the universal vine and remain there!
Being a Christian Student on the Campus – studying and loving the Lord at the same time!
I don’t always have the time to read my Holy Word for Morning Revival, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have morning revival. My time with the Lord starts in the morning and it goes on until I go to bed at night. I enjoy praying on my own but also together with my fellow sisters. Being in the Body of Christ really helps.
our sanctification in the truth results in oneness by dealing with all the factors of division
There are several factors of division which are in our being naturally, waiting only for the opportunity to surface and be expressed. We have to remember that outside of being in the Triune God there’s only division, but when we are in the enlarged oneness of the coinhering Triune God by the sanctifying truth we have the oneness! There’s no oneness in the universe outside of the coinhering Triune God!
being a Christian student on the campus – the Lord gives grace when burdens increase
Persecution from unbelievers, the height of worldly pursuits, and the center for liberal ideology make college campuses a very difficult place for young people who love the Lord. However, if we look to the Lord and continue to care for His purpose, all of these trying situations are taken care of. All young people have goals and aspirations for their futures, but if we are not one with Him, there never will be peace. If we are one with Him, He will supply us all our needs and we will be at peace no matter the circumstance.
