TO TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE.

WHY GIVING UP IS THE SOLUTION

B perfection in her
eth, a 20-year-old college
sophomore, works endlessly to
attain
academic life. She stays up late
and gets up early to study and work on
homework. She used to help with her
church’s children’s program, and she
intends to get back to that once she
graduates with her four-year degree, or
maybe after she completes her
Master’s, you know, once life slows
down. Fred, a 19-year-old college
freshman, fully enjoys all the social
benefits living on campus has to offer.
He is involved in a few campus
organizations, competes in intramurals,
and has thus far had three semi-serious
relationships. He knows he should go to
church, but with weekends like he has,
who has time for that?

Is that you? You once were delighted to
be at church, to find friendship with
other Christians, to learn more about
God and deepen your relationship with
Him, but now things are cold and stale
at best. When you allow yourself to stop
for a minute and think, you know life
shouldn’t be this chaotic and empty all
at once. Where did you go wrong? Can
this be fixed?
