Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
-1 Timothy 4:12
We acknowledge that 17-22 years is, in comparison, about the size of a drop in a bucket when it comes to eternity. With the average age of death being raised, being 20(ish) is now even consider to be a "baby age" in society. However, just because there is a higher life expectancy, and eternity is longer than we dare grasp, this does not mean that we are as children. Christ calls us to mature spiritually in Him; to never stop running in His direction, to never get so "comfortable" in your faith that you stop trying to grow in Him (Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen. -2 Peter 3:18).
Being Active in a Church!
(Terra Nova Church)
Undergraduate studies typically last between 3 and 5 years. During said time, we have an incredible opportunity that Christ has blessed us with. We live with His people that are of the same age as ourselves, we are able to study what He has called us to grow in, and we have opportunities to do service in His name. We must not cease to love Him! With such an opportunity, not loving Him and postponing getting involved in His Word and works is such a waste of the precious life that we he has blessed us with!
Witnessing with Sports!
(Siena College Women's Rugby Football Club)
He held fast to the LORD and did not cease to follow him;
he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses.
And the LORD was with him;
he was successful in whatever he undertook.
-2 Kings 18:6-7a
Donate!
(Locks of Love)
Christ is able to reveal all things to whom He chooses. We must stay close to Him, for He has planned to reveal so many things to us. At such a young age, with such a unique opportunity, never think that Christ will leave you hanging with nothing to do until you graduate and become a "real person." He has something perfect planned for you right now, not just for later in life.
Research!
(Siena-Hudson Greenway Project)
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I put childish ways behind me.
-1 Corinthians 13:11
