Christians on Campus at the University of Utah
Living Christ to magnify Him
While we sat there, we shared portions of the word with one another. When one student came by and was interested in knowing what made this Bible different, we were able to show them a verse we were enjoying. We opened up to Matthew 13:8, where the Lord Jesus tells a parable about a sower who went out to sow. The seeds he sowed fell in different places. The verse says:
But others fell on the good earth and yielded fruit, one a hundredfold, and one sixtyfold, and one thirtyfold.
The other verses in chapter 13 as well as the footnotes in the Recovery Version helped us to understand what the good earth really is. Here’s one of the footnotes for verse 8.
The good earth signifies the good heart that is not hardened by worldly traffic, that is without hidden sins, and that is without the anxiety of the age and the deceitfulness of riches. Such a heart gives every inch of its ground to receive the word that the word may grow, bear fruit, and produce even a hundredfold (v. 23). – New Testament Recovery Version
The student smiled and thanked us for giving her the word of God. Just that alone was such a sweet encouragement to us. Thank the Lord for these sweet opportunities.
(Part 1)
You shall love the Lord with all your heart,
You shall love the Lord with all your soul,
You shall love the Lord with all your mind,
With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind!
(Part 2)
O Lord, I love You for all the things You are!
O Lord, I love You for all the things You do!
O Lord, I love You. Help me love You more,
With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind!

This fall, we are going to be getting into 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. In these letters, the apostle Paul touches some very serious points which have to do with serving God, how to conduct ourselves, and the Lord’s second coming. In 2nd Thessalonians, the apostle encourages and even corrects the believers in Thessalonica. We hope that everyone will set aside a time each week to read a chapter, either by themselves or with others.
The following is a schedule for our reading this semester:
Week 1: 9/12-9/18: 1 Thess. Chapter 1
Week 2: 9/19-9/25: 1 Thess. Chapter 2
Week 3: 9/26-10/2: 1 Thess. Chapter 3
Week 4: 10/3-10/9: 1 Thess. Chapter 4

Christians on Campus took this two-night trip to explore beautiful southern Utah! We explored the town of Moab, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands national park! The natural creation of God allows us to perceive His invisible characteristics– His power, His beauty! God becomes so real to us when we are out exploring nature!
