High School Students Get Off The Throne
by Tyler Zach
High school students make a way for Jesus to get back on the throne of their life!
I had the exciting privilege of speaking again at Student Venture's annual lock-in at the YMCA in Fremont, NE. Student Venture is the high school movement of Campus Crusade for Christ. The SV staff are great and have been praying and working hard all year to make an impact in these student's lives.
Here are some of the great comments that the students wrote down after the talk:
Arlington students:
“I didn’t know that I am elevating something over God.”
“Please pray for me to not let selfishness rule me.”
“I really feel that I idol guys & internet too much. I need to get rid of obsessing over that.”
“I need to let God always be on the throne of my life.”
“I learned that it is important to leave a (spiritual) legacy.”
“I learned that idols don’t have to be other gods.”
“I realized I spend a lot of time on my computer and PS 2 and should give that time up to God.”
“I know God better.”
Logan View students:
“Even if you go to church… just doing that alone doesn’t make you a true believer.”
“He showed me that my life I’ve just been worrying about how people think of me.”
Blair students:
“I just want to be diligent in getting to know God more personally, or spending more time alone with Him.”
“I thought Christ was #1 in my life, but he really wasn’t.”
“I became almost disturbingly aware of the fact I spend an extreme amount of time on the internet compared to God time. Pray for me.”
Fort Calhoun students:
“I thought the speech was moving. I want to be sure to put Jesus on my throne and leave Him there..."
“I’ve tried to dress, act, and talk the way I believe Jesus would want me to, but I never considered that my dreams and my worries could keep me from Him.”
9 of 77 students in the audience indicated that they received Jesus into their lives after the talk. We can never be sure if all of them made an authentic, competent decision. But, this is a good sign that God is moving in their hearts. Please pray that God would reveal Himself further to them and that they would experience transformational spiritual growth in their lives.
Thank you for your support to make events like these possible!
