As a child, I hated waiting for Christmas. Unfortunately it wasn't because I couldn't wait to celebrate the birth of the Messiah. My focus was on the unveiling of all the presents.
The more I read the evangelism numbers on the 2005 Annual Field Report, the more discouraged I became. InterVarsity was stuck in an unhealthy pattern: a year of growth immediately followed by a year of decline. But that wasn't all...
Christmas is only a few weeks away. You know the occasion is spiritually important but, as a student, I’m guessing you can’t think about that right now.
It is never too early in life to begin thinking about the legacy you want to leave behind when you are gone, whether you're on the brink of graduation, retirement, or somewhere in between.
Lately I have been pondering what causes one person to excel as a leader while another person does not. Is it due to education, experience, personality, learned skills, time management, culture, or
“Pray without ceasing,” writes Paul to the Thessalonians (5:17). Did you ever wonder what Paul actually meant or how to do this? It feels just a tad guilt-producing. My prayer life is not like this.
As the school year starts, we are once again inundated with activities large and small. We plan outreaches, meet with leaders, welcome new students, and start small groups.
