2 Timothy 2:22 is the verse that comes to mind when I consider my experience with Christians on campus:
“Pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with all those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
Being with Christians on campus at the University of Chicago and other universities, has been one of pursuing with those out of a pure heart. I met Christians who love the Lord Jesus, and their gatherings exude that in simplicity and purity.
Another distinguishing characteristic of Christians on campus is their love for the Word of God. These are people who love the Bible and pursue knowing the truth, but not merely in a mental, philosophical way, but rather in an experiential, applicable, and practical way.
Finally, my highlights include meeting with club affiliated families (with their open hearts, homes, and fridges!) and the regional and national conferences with other sister clubs.
