I was searching though the current blogs on the topic of Christian colleges and the most discussed theme seems to be gay rights. It sounds like at least in the media that the world is pushing its values, rather than the Christians pushing theirs. Oh well...

Many people ask, why should I choose a Christian College versus a well established liberal arts college or university? My answer to you would be, why not choose a Christian College? I graduated from a Christian College, and I am thankful for it. I am thankful for learning how to ingegrate my faith with my daily calling. The college years are such a pivotal time in the life of any young adult. Should I get married? What am I going to do with my life? Can my major make me money? Among some other questions...

What better time to help college age adults to engage the culture with a Biblical framework. For example, in the business world, ethics, discrimination, and sexual harrassment are major issues to a balanced working environment. Imagine approaching these day to day issues with a Christian Worldview as oppose to Post-modern Worldview that says obey the rules, but if you break them, make sure you don't get caught. The light of Christ needs to be in the law courts, hospitals, board meetings, schools, and corporations. The result would be not only a morally sound society but a society that seeks to uphold the glory of God in every aspect of life. Now that is what I call, heaven on earth!

Ever since I become a Christian and have had a dilemma. On one hand I wanted to be a pastor and serve the Lord full time, on the other hand I wanted to show all my non-Christian relatives that I was motivated and skilled enough to be successful in the real world. The question is what is the calling for my life, and what should have been the right education to receive.

I ended up combining my education courses and actually took classes in business as well as biblical studies. Right after college I went into business, and as I have wanted, I have become very successful rising in my career faster than any of my college classmates. However, as my 30th birthday comes, the question is coming: how do I fill my calling to Christian ministry? Should I now give up my career and become a full time minister, or is there a way that I can combine my career pursuits with serving God.

I put this as an open question, and would like to know if anybody has an piece of advice for me.
