A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.

- C. S. Lewis

“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.”

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.”

God brews the coffee, not the cups………. Enjoy your coffee!

“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.”

Live, Love and Laugh - then leave the rest to God.

There is too much “timidity” among Christians on every campus I visit. There is a fear of what others think…and it is justified by an “I don’t want to offend others” mentality. It is compromise. The national average of Christian’s on each university is 4% and more than 90% of those 4% come from Christian backgrounds.

In other words, Christians are mainly reaching Christians on campus. If we don’t see revival now, we will have a post-Christian generation tomorrow.

It’s time for radical Christianity…or should I say “normal Christianity” to be released on
this generation with power.

Sad reality. Do you believe in the faith you hold? Make a stand then.

A wise man was walking along the beach one evening and saw a little boy throwing starfish that had been washed ashore by the tide into the sea.

He thought the boy was silly in trying to save the starfish, as he knew it was impossible to throw every single one of the starfish back into the sea, with the tides washing them up.

The man walked right up to the boy and asked him why he was trying to save the starfish. “You see sir; the starfish would die if they are left on the shore. They need to be in the sea in order to live,” answered the boy with all the innocence of a child.

“But son, how are you going to save all of them? Every time you put one back, another would be washed up. It doesn’t matter to them, son.” The boy picked up a starfish, looked at the man and said, “But sir, it matters to this one.”

After saying that, he threw the starfish back into the sea.
