In my post yesterday [The 'Trend' of Service], I suggested that the current ‘in’ form of faith expression, on the campus I serve, is — far and away — service.
I’ve been on a number of other campuses over the past 18 years (including my own undergraduate experience), and have seen contexts where worship or small group involvement or service have seemed to be the ‘popular’ thing to do…
But I can’t say that I remember ever experiencing a well-integrated, balanced ministry environment. A place where young Christians are involved in equal, and appropriate, levels of worship, discipleship AND outreach.
And so I find myself wondering…
- Is it our ministries? Are we providing the kinds of experiences for our students that lead to healthy, well-balanced believers? Or lopsided Christians? Is there more we can be doing?
- Is it our students? Are our students willing to put forth the necessary amounts of time and energy needed to become healthy, growing believers?
- Is it something else?
What do you think???
