Life as we know it? - Jake K.

Alright. Here's a question: What is suppose to come first in our life? Well, if we were a Christ followers then we would say, "God and Jesus of course!" If that were the case, we should be overflowing with the Holy Spirit, and want to go out into the nation to preach the good word. It shouldn't matter if we want to or not. Jesus says in Mark 16:15 to go and preach to ever creation, not to sit at home and play Xbox.

What I am getting at is that from our short survey with BU students, we have hit a shocking discovery. We aren't doing our jobs correctly! OK... not a HUGE discovery, but it should want to motivate us to do great work for God. For me this project has been God's way to smack me in the face, because I'm not putting my all into my God and what He stands for. We all need to put down our "Xbox" (distractions) and bring God's word to those who need it.

Ruth Graham has the idea when she said this at the recent conference: "This was a community where the churches would work together, where the college would serve as a gathering place for many different denominations, and many different people, and that's what we're trying to do," Graham said. "We're trying to reach as many people as we can with the message that we have."

In this community we as a college and church need to step it up, and work together on more events that involve the community. Such things like the Andrew's Good News party, and the past Ruth Graham Conference are good examples. However, it seems like it's not enough! And that's great, because it leaves more room for improvement! But the truth of this whole entire project comes down to this: We will never be KNOWN BY OUR LOVE, unless we take advantage of Mark 16:15.
