Our Mission: FOCCUS YOURSELF!!!

College years... So many questions, so many choices. The 1st question, what school am I going to? We already got that out of the way. Should I get a bike or just take the bus? What classes should I take? And the list goes on and on.

One issue that comes up for most of us is how to prioritize all the stuff we need to handle. What should I focus on? It is easy to get caught up with all the classes, office hours, exams, new people, etc, but it's essential to our success to keep focused on a goal. That way we don't lose sight of what we are trying to achieve amidst the heavy workload and other tasks.


So what is our focus as Christians? Well, St. Paul gives a hint to that.

"Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
-2 Timothy 2:22


Our focus is the Lord Jesus Christ
We need to focus on the Lord to flee our youthful desires. We need to focus on the Lord to reach "righteousness, faith, love and peace." And last, but certainly not least, we need to focus on the Lord to add more people to the Kingdom of God so we can all call out to Him with a pure heart.

There are a lot of people that don't have Christ as their focus in life. Our classmates, our teachers, the myriad of bikers on campus, the guy getting lunch at the Coffee House (CoHo :D), the girl reading over her notes in the quad need to hear the sweet story of the Savior who gave His life to save their souls as well as ours. There are so many people out their focusing on all kinds of goals, but what they don't know is that Christ is the goal that has everything they will ever want and need; Who's going to tell them?

The Lord has provided us with this great opportunity and this F.O.C.C.U.S. Now, He is waiting to see what we will do with it.

So 2 questions remain...

What's your focus?

AND

Who are you going to invite to F.O.C.C.U.S.?
