"Voice of Truth"

Because I go to a Christian College, I see how God shapes my life in every aspect. But there are some schools where you won't hear a single word about God. Here I am learning how to approach everything from the view of "what would Jesus do." I was recently asked to read an article by a president of a Christian college. http://www.uu.edu/dockery/092000-erlc.htm We see that Montreat is the private college with faculty and students "unrelated to the Christian heritage of the college." So true. I know I am not Presbyterian and I am not even sure how to spell it. I was raised a Baptist and the reason I have come to Montreat is on scholarship to play golf. It also says that private schools are very diverse which is also very true. Montreat ranges from (excuse the generic terms) jock, band geeks, nerds, dragons and dungeons card players, to outdoor education majors, and we can't forget our Bible majors. All very, very diverse, but hopefully one major thing in common; how they lead their lives with God.

We know we shouldn't judge others by what they do or what games they play during their time, but we do it anyway. Those who play wizard card games like to think as the jocks as "dumb" and only here to play and vise-versa, but I know people are here to get an education too. We all have that common goal and we will achieve it in our own time and way.

I love where this man says "I would suggest that loving God with our minds--thinking Christianly--points us to a unity of knowledge, a seamless whole because all true knowledge flows from the One Creator to His one creation" Knowledge is a huge part of our lives. To gain more knowledge is why I am in this computer class, to learn about technology while learning how to integrate faith into that as well. God is truth, and while gaining knowledge and truth, we learn how to think Christianly. This article also talks about how our motivation should be higher because of the different calling that we have. We have been called by God to do works in His name. Our drive should be higher than that of others. Is it though? Or are we going through the motions? Are we getting lazy? I think we will figure it out soon.
