Here at ETBU, I am constantly challenged in my daily walk with God to slack off. Studying Greek, being in Survey of Civilizations, having a job, writing this blog! All these things are taking up time that I could be spending with God, if I did not participate in completing them.
But my attitude towards school is much like that of Jonathan Edwards. I believe that the environment of being at ETBU is only aiding me in my walk with God. I am always tempted to not read my Bible in the morning, but just the thought of not reading drives me nuts and encourages me to not walk out the door in the morning before spending a few cherished moments with the Almighty Creator of the universe.
Being a religion major is a huge driving force in my passionate chase for a closer walk with God. My classes supplement my own understanding of the Bible, and listening to my professors only excites my heart to yearn for more understanding and knowledge of my Great God. Even if I was not a religion major, I truly believe that ETBU is holding me to more standards than any other educator has ever challenged me to uphold before.
I believe that right now, I am called to be a student. And in being called to a certain ministry, we are commanded to bring God glory through everything we do. So why do some of us slack off in schooling, knowing that we are not giving our best to the glory of God?
I am a student at ETBU. I am also a student of Jesus. I am determined to use both of my continuing educations together to strengthen my relationship with Christ and further my abilities to continue to inaugurate God's kingdom here on Earth.
