Most often the saying goes "college will make or break your faith". That is true from experience seeing peers either be saved, come closer to the Lord, build convictions, or turn away, see this wasn't for them. Either I'm a late bloomer or something, (but I think this is common for those who are young adults) but this young adult stage is another "make or break your faith". Or maybe it could be a lukewarm stage where one is secure in his beliefs, but the faithfulness is lacking. Sometimes the effort to live life for the Lord seems meaningless. We want to give up or be indifferent. We think we are knowledgeable with truth but find it boring, boring to talk about. Other things in the world seem more interesting to grab our attention; the gospel feels less relevant in that we also don't find the desire to share; the weight of sin is as heavy as a feather; serving seems redundant; fellowshipping requires too much effort; life may not be what we imagined a few years ago, "God" is just a name. But I need say to myself, "Don't be such a fool!" "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no god.'" (Psalm 14:1) God is so much better. I remember the theme of my senior year college banquet was The Good Fight based off of 1 Timothy 6:11-12.
Flee from the love of money, flee from doctrines against Christ. But pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
1 Timothy 6
The Word of the Lord endures forever. It isn't God who has changed, but we have just forgotten our First Love who is the same for eternity.
Fight the Good Fight
