Freshmen Christians

For those who don’t know, I work at North Greenville University as a Spanish Instructor. During the summer, there aren’t many college students running around the campus. This weekend, the droves of students were moving back into the dorms. Many of them had parents in tow. The campus once again was alive with excitement and anticipation of a new semester. It reminds me a lot of the church. Some churches are like the summer campus. The same old professors and administration are sitting around planning for the upcoming year, but it isn’t until the life of new, young, and vibrant students come on the scene that things get exciting. In the church world, if there hasn’t been any new, young and vibrant life in your church, look around. Are there any new baby Christians? Young Christians, just like freshmen are full of energy. They sometimes do stupid things or at least things that are unexpected from a “mature” Christian’s point of view. The life they bring to the scene is incredible! Even God and the angels party in heaven every time a new Christian is born into the kingdom! Look for ways to bring about new growth in the church. It will keep things exciting!
