The question of the image of Christianity seems to be very popular on campus at UEA. Todays lunch bar consisted of some great sandwiches, an excellent talk by Emily, our UCCF staff worker, and some brilliant and intriguing questions.
The main idea of Emily's talk was the way in which we view freedom; do we want the removal of all rules and regulations and the ability to do and believe whatever we want? Or is there meaning and purpose in living life to a moral standard? And where does that moral standard come from?
This seems to be a big issue this week; is there morality outside of God? For me, I don't think there is. If all we are is a collection of chemicals and a series of reactions, there can be no higher purpose, no essence of right or wrong- life simply is. But with God, we find that higher purpose, we find meaning to this life.
The whole point of these events is to give people a place to ask questions, make comments and hear more about Jesus. Even when the questions are difficult, its such a blessing to see this happening, and to see people being incredibly respectful when doing it. Let's respect their views as we want to them to respect ours!
Once again, so many people were so supportive in making it happen- hosting this event is super simple thanks to you all!
Tonight, engaging with The Lion King! 7.30 in Nelson Court Common Room. excitement
