Faith based life on campus?

What better thing for a college-age American Christian to do then go to a secular campus and be a good ambassador for Christ? Many agnostic and atheistic people in America have little or not direct personal experience with true Christians, their experience is based on their family, or a bad experience they had at a bad church, or what they see on tv. A gay person on campus may have never met a Bible-believing Christian who was actually genuinely nice to them.

THIS. Jesus teaches us to love sinners, because we are all sinners. If you want to go to a Christian school, I say more power to you, but at the same time, you could really do some great work in the world if you go to a normal school. Not only can you show others love and compassion, but you can also learn so much about yourself. We’re all sinners, both Christians and non-Christians. What separates us from them is our faith in Jesus Christ. And as long as you have your faith, you may be tempted, but you won’t fall. Even Jesus was tempted.

Going to a normal non-Christian school will really open your eyes to the world around you. You also won’t lose the ability to be around other Christians. As a fellow conservative Christian, I really recommend going to a non-Christian school- or at least a school where religion isn’t the focus. You will never be able to spread the news of God if you spend all of your time with the religious. It’s like preaching to the choir.
