Engage

I was really inspired after hearing the message that was given at the campus church I've been attending. The title of the message was "Engage." It was about sharing your faith and not keeping it just for yourself. A comparison was made between the early Christians and Christian college students that I thought was really cool. The early Christians were right it the midst of non Christians. They lived by each other, they worked together, they ate together, and they traveled together. Its just like in college, we live in dorms, have class with, eat with, and walk to class with non Christians. We were given the challenge to talk to someone about they believe. I've already a chance to do that with one of my new friends who I found out is a converted Jew. I ready feel that my faith is growing in new ways. I think that people do see something different about me. I pray that I will continue to grow more in the likeness of Christ. We all fall short at times but He is always there to guide and lead us.

They devoted themselves to the apostlesteaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily.
Acts 2:42-47
