Questions - Grow in Grace and Knowledge

This was a good article by John Frame. Take a look here. It was convicting.

Pics From Last Term

Here are some pictures from the College Age Retreat and Drexel University during this past term. It was fun, God was good, and looking forward to this semester (trimester for Drexel). Thanks to Rachel for taking the College Age retreat pics and to whomever took that picture from Drexel.

the challenge

This year, I have decided to take up a challenge. similar to the systematic challenge, but on a broader scale (and perhaps more manageable).

Over winter break, I was able to sit down and pick up a book to read. (This is something I have not done in a long time.)

Afterwards, I realized how much I had actually enjoyed that time! and missed reading books. Real, physical, have-to-turn-the-page books.

As a result, this year I intend to read 52 books. One per week. Starting January 4.

So far, I've read The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer - so I'm on schedule.

I think we should look to be reading a lot more. It's a good usage of time - and plus there are tons of good books out there.

Blogs do not compare.

By far.

Thoughts on the Election

We must pray that God would change President-Elect Obama's mind and heart on issues of our crucial concern. May God change his heart and open his eyes to see abortion as the murder of the innocent unborn, to see marriage as an institution to be defended, and to see a host of issues in a new light. We must pray this from this day until the day he leaves office. God is sovereign, after all.

Devotions

M'cheyne's bible in a year reading plan is very helpful and will serve you. This website follows that plan and automatically pulls up the verses each day, so that you don't even have to look them up. Easy enough.

Commentary

This current crisis should also remind Christians that we are not called to be mere economic actors, but stewards. Everything we are, everything we do, and everything we own truly belongs to God and is to be at the disposal of Kingdom purposes. This world is not our home and our treasure is not found here. We are to do all, invest all, own all, purchase all to the glory of God.

Al Mohler has an excellent commentary on the current state of affairs. It's definitely worth reading. Read the article here.

Don't be Ignorant

I know that we are in college, but we need to keep abreast of what is going on in the economy. Even though the situation is grave, as believers, we should put our trust in God, not our economy. See this as a call to pray to our heavenly Father for the stability of our economy.
