Diverse Cultures

Dr. Stuart gave a presentation on “Diverse Cultures” who saturate not only the collegiate campuses, but also the world. He spoke about the various worldviews and beliefs such as Pluralism, Universalism, and Unitarianism that college students encounter throughout their journey. Numerous students are blinded to the truth that there is only one way to eternal life, which is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

It is incredible all the different ways “truth” is taught to be obtain. One aspect I found to be intriguing is how many students are taking pieces of different beliefs and creating a “spiritual experience” that fits how they desire to live life.  The Holy Spirit continues to burden my heart at the need the collegiate students have to truly know and hear the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only way. John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

 I want college students to know Christ and to become His disciple, which I know means hard work and that salvation only comes through the power of the Holy Spirit who calls to their hearts. The desire to share the Gospel with students continues to increase in me, with such presentation as this, and it challenges me to continue to grow in my love and understanding of Jesus Christ. It also increases the longing to help make disciples of those students who are Christians, to teach them how to share their faith and lead others not shelter them.  Students must learn how to live in the world and live out their faith in any context they find themselves in as well as share Christ.

" How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" ~  Romans 10:14-17
