Examining this question was applicable in SGA chapel throughout the year. It is even more pressing as we live Christianity in the "real world" now, and for the rest of our lives. When Paul •d "whatever you do in word or deed,do all in the ame of the Lord Jesus..."(Colossians 3:17),he estroyed any boundaries we may place on our hristianity. I remember asking my mom about an abandoned uilding on a hill in my hometown of Kalamazoo, ichigan. She explained that it was once a sanitorium, a lace to isolate tuberculosis patients from the rest of society. We cannot quarantine our faith from the rest of ur lives; it should infect everything we do.When we go to the office, we cannot pragmatically exchange our ethics. As we continue in postgraduate programs, we cannot isolate our Christianity from the world ofideas. hii • • si we e
