Welcome to Campus
Christians.
Our
Mission Statement:
The Christian's
purpose in life is both commanded in Scripture (Phil. 2:2) and
exemplified in the lives of Jesus, Paul, and other New Testament believers,
and that is to grow in Christ-likeness/God-likeness in character (1 Pet.
1:15; Phil. 1:21,27; Eph. 4:13; Rom. 13:14) while doing the mission of
evangelism (seeking and saving the lost - Lk. 19:10; Mk. 1:38; Acts
26:16-18; Matt. 28:19,20; Acts 10:42; Phil. 1:27; Eph. 4:11,12; 2 Tim. 4:5)
and building believers up spiritually into Christ-likeness (Gal. 4:19;
Rom. 14:19; 1 Thes. 5:11; Eph. 4:11-13), and this is best achieved
through teaching, training, and being a role-model to these believers by
living with or being in close association with them over an extended period
of time (Mk. 1:16-20; 3:14; Lk. 6:40; Acts 16:1-4; 19:9,10; 20:18,31; 2
Tim. 3:10; Eph. 4:11-13; 1 Cor. 4:16,17; 11:1; 1 Thes. 1:6; Phil. 3:17;
4:9) and thereby glorify God.
MY
PERSONAL COMMITMENT AS A CHRISTIAN
I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit Power.
The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been
made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back
away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low
living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed
visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need
preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I
don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or
rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift
by prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is
heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide
reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured,
lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face
of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the
table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the
maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed
up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for
the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes,
give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when
He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me. MY BANNER
WILL BE CLEAR!! - This was written by a young African pastor and
tacked on the wall of his house.
