WARNING: THIS MIGHT NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL PEOPLE

A few weeks ago a friend of mine, Trey Morgan who preaches in Childress, Texas, wrote a post on his website about what Jesus would tweet or what his facebook status would be.  Here are a few of my favorites:

1.      Didn’t tell my parents I’d be hanging at the temple for about 3 days. Mom and Dad just found me. Wow, Mom looks mad.

2.      Just changed water to wine for the wedding feast. Let’s see the preachers try to explain this one in 2000 years. :)

3.      Just sent a bunch of demons into a heard of pigs. I call it swine flu.

And of course my favorite:

4.      Sleep evaded us all last night. Andrew snores like a three-humped camel with asthma.

I decided to take a look at some Christian college students facebook profiles. I was amazed at much of what I found! Kevin Roose would be proud.

  • Open house at 7:30 I feel some fornication coming on.
  • Listening to Gregorian Chant. F* my life.
  • Billy Mays here and with two easy steps I can climb over these seats and kick you right in the friggin balls.
  • One of my personal favorites came from none other than a teacher: Like the rest of the free world they hate him! If the Phils got ahead by a few runs in the ninth, I’d drill him again despite the fact that the pitcher will get tossed. He’s such a hump.

I wonder what the example the next generation of Christians will send.

Until next time may the good Lord bless and keep you: All Y’all

While your words might be harsh, they are a fact of teh world we live in today. The words of a few Christians and even a teacher are disappointing, but we need to use them as a starting block to conquer the world around us.

The fact is we live in the world, we must make sure the world does not live in us!

Just my sleepless thoughts.

When you claim to be a Christian and yet you talk and act no different than the world, you do much harm. I’ll be the first to admit that the college age crowd loves to hear it and tell it like it is… and that includes sermons. I love their honesty and their gumption. BUT I’ll admit that I do seriously struggle with the college philosophy that this is my time in life to party and experience the world. We’ve simply got to look different from the world, in word and in action.

I guess one thing I didnt make real clear was that these students are not just christians that go to college; they are students that go to a Christian College.

also, it’s easy to mistake students at a Christian college for disciples of Jesus.
