I went over to University of Tennessee campus for the first Bible study. Campus Crusade for Christ set up the meetings which are held in Hess Hall dormitory. We had 16 students show up and all are eager to participate. A few a new Believers attended, and one is not yet ready to make a decision for Christ. Please pray for the students and for the leadership as we strive to make this a powerful ministry. Every Wednesday we will be meeting in the dorm lobby and going over the big questions in life: Why is there suffering? Who is Jesus? What am I supposed to do in this life? These will be some of the topics we will address in the UT Bible study.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE SHOULD WAIT ON GOD'S LEADING.
...just as I prayed about a college ministry as I continue to teach at CAK, I waited and the Lord brought this to pass. I have a lot of problems with waiting, but each year I see the wisdom in leting the Lord choose the paths, not me.
Oswald Chambers: "There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fill it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means. Never run before God's guidance. If there is the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt - don't."
Hudson Taylor: "God's work done God's way will never lack God's supply."
James L. Christenson: "The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life."
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. - Isa 40:31
