Exloring Life Eternal

Simple:
The Lord alone gives access to life, liberty, & love.
The Holy Spirit gives healing, happiness, & hope only through Jesus.
Our Father gives freedom, fulfillment, & faith only in Him.

Story:
I remember one friendship with a son of a high gov't official in Cambodia. The first time we met, his first question was exactly this:

Why should I be a Christian?
He counted the costs pretty clearly & proceded to ask his parents if they would let him follow Jesus. They did not object & so he began to study even more seriously.

It all began when I just sat next to him at the beginning of a school year & chatted with a fellow sitting alone on a step as he waited outside the cafeteria.

Let us remember to "go outside the camp" as schools start, both on campus & elsewhere.

Peace,
Mert
