The Campus Minister

The Messianic Virus

Is it just me, or does it often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all of the things that we want (or need) to do?

As pastors we can find ourselves sought out for a variety of reasons.

And we can give ourselves to a lot of different ministry-related tasks and to-do’s.

Some of this happens for good reasons, some for the wrong reasons and some due to no decision of our own.

But I find myself wondering how frequently many of us get sidetracked, or even sidelined, by giving too much of our time and attention to the wrong things.

Mentors and Friends: Why You Need to Be a Spiritual Matchmaker

Walking alone.

Far too many of our students are doing it these days…

I’m not talking about walking alone late at night (although too many are doing that as well), but I’m talking about their approach to life during their formative college years.

Sure, they have friends.

Well, kind of.

They’ve made acquaintances that are often based off of similar tastes in music, class schedules, fashion sense, hometown, housing arrangement, etc… and while some of these relationships have the potential to drift into deeper waters — most never will.
