Over the years, I’ve realized that if I just give the Lord the time and go to some meetings in a consistent way, He honors this and takes care of me. In reality, our education is for the Lord – and our whole life is for the Lord – and He knows we need to take care of these practical things. Yes, the Lord wants us to take care of them in a proper way, but our life with Him is more important than any outward schooling, habit, practice, station etc.
Being a Christian Student on the campus – no matter how busy you are, never leave the church life!
It is both crucial and watering to attend the home meetings, the prayer meetings, and the Lord’s table meetings as much as you can; it would be excellent to make it to as many conferences as possible too. However, as students, our priorities right now are to take care of our studies, and we shouldn’t just aim for “average” – we should definitely aim for the highest, best education
being a Christian student on the campus – God, our education, and our character
Before coming to the UK to study independently, I had my parents to “push me to study” all the time. But when there is no one to make me study, I had to make myself study. A sister’s word constantly reminds me that I am studying for the Lord and not for myself. This is because many times I am carried away by ambition and anxiety. The workload may be overwhelming at times, but we must always remember to turn back to the Lord [continue reading a student’s testimony of balancing the church life with the university life]
Being a Christian Student on the campus – Practically applying the Life-Giving Spirit to Our Lives
When I sit down to write a paper or to study for an exam, the temptation to procrastinate can be relentlessly strong. Sometimes, I sit down in the library and an hour or so later I find that I’ve read twenty news articles and completed absolutely no work. This is what Ephesians 5:16 means by redeeming the time, for the days are evil. It is good to open our beings to the Lord in every decision, no matter how petty they seem…
we are commissioned to preach the high gospel, the entire truth revealed in the Word of God
No matter how modern, cool, or amazing things people have or invent – the advance of the technology and entertainment in the world today has not filled the emptiness within man; rather, it has enlarged it, since they try to be filled and happy with so many things when only One Thing satisfies – God Himself! Only the high truths in the Lord’s recovery can match the need of today’s hunger in the world – people are fed up with the low feel-good gospel in the Christianity.
being a christian student on the campus – take care of the Lord first and make a schedule!
If you give the Lord one hour, He will give you two hours back. Writing an essay is not a matter of ‘quantity’ of time, it’s a matter of ‘quality’. I’ve found that once I’ve enjoyed the Lord, my mind is calm and I’m able to sit down and actually get something done! If I start an essay without touching the Lord, it’s really like untangling a big ball of spaghetti!
being a Christian student on the campus: Love the Lord and gain Him – there is no other way!
Given the insurmountable workload, the constant stress, and the many “attractions” that university life has to offer, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that we have been called out of the world and into Him – we have been called to be a lover of Christ. To this, I have many a times fallen victim. Yet, the Lord is gracious. If we only turn back to Him, He is faithful to be our daily moment-by-moment supply.
