Campus Challenge

Well, I figured, I would post my thoughts on Campus Challenge, a conference run by AFC that went from last Friday until today (Monday) at Peterborough.

What is Campus Challenge? For me, it has equipped and challenged me to be a disciple of Jesus Christ on campus and really has spoken to me about leadership which I have not looked at before. The speaker? Allison Siewert, the drama coordinator at Urbana 03, who spoke truth into my life. Have I been trying to live that comfortable "Good Christian Life" that I have forgotten what truly matters? Am I so worried about how others view me as that it acts as a wall and prevents me from truly being who Jesus was? Being a Christian isn't easy. Jesus was never easy. He made friends with the undesirables of society (homeless, prostitutes, tax collectors), overturned merchant tables in the temple courts, stirred up the religious leaders of the day, and just about defied all common conceptions of what was seen as "right" for the sake of truth.

Christianity was never about Dos and Donts, but rather, it is about being the completely yielding of yourself to God's will regardless of others.
