Status Quo Living

I just heard an alarming statistic. Two of every three college students who arrive at college with their faith throw it to the side. I presently have two children in college – the math is not hard to do.

We can arm our children with foundational faith – a faith built upon the environment in which they were raised. It is when they go off, whether to college or their own apartment, that the responsibility of their individual faith lies purely in their hearts. It will be up to them to not only determine the importance of their faith but the presence of their faith and convictions in their lives. We cannot know God for our children but we can redirect them to God when we see them veering off course.

We all veer off course in our lives and need a revival of our faith just as our children experience when they find themselves in a new environment.

The “two out of every three” is such status quo living as we strive to be like everyone else when we were meant to be that one that stands apart.

Don’t be a statistic in a status quo environment.
