CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
I got accepted!

Congratulations.
And I'd like to ask :
Why did you decide to go to a bible college?
And how did you find out God's will?
Thank you.

Congratulations. I looked over you program and it looks really exciting. I might add that it would help you a lot study a bit of philosophy and apologetics on your own. It looks like a decent program with decent curriculum.

Great question. So after becoming saved around last spring, I was still wondering what I wanted to do with my life. Shortly after becoming savfed though, I notcied that I had this really strong urge to share my testimony and dive deep into spiritual matters and deep into bible scholar/apologetics type stuff and tell ppl what I discovered and what good news this new finding means.
But I didn't know what to do as a career/job, and I was still pondering what to do with my life, just as I had been before getting saved. While I never exactly asked God directly about the issue, I pondered about what God wanted me to do, and perhaps that was good enough for Him.
So I'm with my mom a couple months later in the summer at a second-hand store with my mom. I was in the book section looking for anything about christianity or scholar-type stuff. I happened to notice a nice looking black booklet, it was a minister's manual; highly unusual to find in a second-hand store. I scanned through the pages to see what it was about, and behold, it's the official manual from my own church, even more unusual.
There's no doubt in my mind that that was my calling. When I told my pastor about it, he nearly went head over heels.
I'm still not sure if I'll even be a senior or associate pastor when I get out of college, or if I'll hit the mission field first, or go on to seminary and become a scholar or apologist. But I know that I will be teaching ppl somewhere, somehow, and will love every minute of it.

Congratulations! I'm on my way out of college/university (US public university here), so I figure I'll offer a little advice - definitely take the time to enjoy the interesting opportunities one can explore in college. I'm not talking about partying/messing around, but the friends and fellowship, the opportunity to serve others, the opportunity to find out who you are.
