Deceptions on Campus

Clearly we can’t even get food to some countries, but even in first world countries- having a cell phone doesn’t mean you’re “good.” Still a lot of people going hungry. Just feel it’s callous to be so unaware. I haven’t done much but have worked at a Christian food pantry several times- eye opening experience. Also, to just dismiss the need as something others can do and spend time and effort investing in those who can further promote your agenda- is wrong- regardless of what group is doing it.

Sometimes on M9nday mornings I help my local church and some needy folks by pushing a wheelbarrow with their donated food to their car. I do a lot of watching, a bit of silent praying, and an occasional verbal blessing. I'm just a nobody pushing a wheelbarrow sometimes praying for what looks like a single mom with little kids, old, and mentally and physically challenged folks. This is helping me love people who are very different from me. Maybe someday I'll hear their stories and pray, rejoice or cry. My bad is that I know that if I never hear them, then I may never feel the Spirit move me to act and or pray.

Christians On Campus UCLA
"This past weekend at the college conference, we enjoyed seeing the church as the "One New Man," where Christ is all and in all (Colossians 3:11). To put on the new man, we need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind by daily opening to the Lord and drinking of the Spirit. May we let the peace of Christ arbitrate in our hearts and let the word of Christ dwell in us richly, until all our natural distinctions have been eliminated and we become the one new man in reality!"

Looks like there are about 2/3rd Asian students. I would imagine that a large majority are not American citizens, but from various Asian countries. Of course Southern California has a large Asian (native or otherwise) population, so maybe this particular ConC makeup is a little skewed? Does anyone know if this is a very common racial makeup for other large ConC groups?

Two third's of the world's population is Asian, so this is an accurate representative sample of the world's demographic. This is a picture of equality as every race is fairly represented.

Wait, are you being serious about this having every race fairly represented?

Almost every race. I probably forgot about the Inuit people.

In my locality- I would definitely presume a quarter at least- possibly a third. Definitely less than half. CA you’ll probably get the most Asian heritage.

In my locality I would say about half, maybe more, of the students who join ConC are Asian, despite the college campus being predominantly Caucasion. At the early meetings in the year you get a number of caucasian Christians but they quickly drop off as they realise something fishy is going on.

"We enjoyed seeing the church" means Jesus is gone as the focus of the gospel. Now replaced with the Hive.

"until our natural distinctions have been eliminated" means that the "every tribe and tongue and nation" of the NT has been replaced with one tribe, one tongue, and one nation. Bland uniformity and conformity. "No distinctions".

One culture sees all this as "normal". The rest sense something fishy going on, and don't stick around.

When the focus of the church is the church, it's time to move on. Doesn't matter if it's the RCC or the CoC.
