For those of you who haven’t been able to connect up with CrossSeekers Campus Ministry, we wanted to let you know that we are active on campus and hoping to provide a warm environment for students to come together and grow in their relationship with God and each other. Some of the things we do are as simple as handing out free breakfast bars on campus. Other times, we’re digging deep into God’s Word or praying together for specific issues in our lives.
Honestly, it’s easy for students to lose sight of God in the big picture of the collegiate environment. There are so many distractions around us and it takes a concentrated effort to overcome those things that would seek to rob us of our satisfaction in Christ. They may not affect all in the same way. We all deal with different things differently. Where one student may have a problem with alcohol, another might not but still be wrapped up in sexual immorality or being judgmental.
God’s Word tells us to focus in on the things of Him. Several times, we find in Scripture the call to turn our eyes to Him and set our hearts on the things of the Spirit. There, we will find life and peace, whereas, the things of the flesh and the world breed death and despair. So here’s the challenge that we talked about this past Wednesday night: clean ourselves so that we can be set apart as useful to God, ready for every good work. Step into the spiritual shower of God’s grace and allow Him to wash away all the muck in our lives. Drink deeply of His love and breathe in His Spirit to purify your life and refine your faith in Him.
Striving in the battle,
Brodie
