We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow

Christ’s Church at Virginia Tech campus ministry

is a non-denominational Christian community of students who:

--believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God

--believe the Bible is the infallible Word of the one and only true God, and therefore embrace it as our first & final authority for faith & practice as it contains all the truth needed for salvation and living in Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12)

--strive to put our faith in action, to keep growing in our knowledge and love for God, and to transform our world by living as Jesus lived. (James 2:14-26, Colossians 1:9-12, Romans 12:1-2)

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." -- Isaiah 40:8

Jack Frost puts Iron Chef on ice

Breaking News:
Witnesses report Iron Chef has been severely iced by Jack Frost. Never before has the usually red hot Iron Chef taken such a dramatic setback. But don't count him out. He's been known to make dramatic comebacks before.

Translation:
Our Iron Chef event originally scheduled for this Saturday night has been postponed due to the forecast of 10-15 inches of snow for Blacksburg by Saturday evening. We currently plan to allow Iron Chef to make his comeback Saturday, Feb. 20, so keep your secret recipes on simmer.

In the meantime, if you are able to get out and about Saturday afternoon and feel like having some fun in the snow, join us at the campus house at about 3pm. We'll make a CCVT snow man, or get in a snow ball fight, or go sledding down the hill by the tennis courts, or somewhere else, or make a snow fort, or play snow football, or whatever snow games everybody feels like playing. Afterward we can warm up inside with some hot chocolate, and maybe order some pizza and watch movies or play games or whatever everybody feels like doing. We'll see. Just come at 3pm and we'll figure it out.

Hope you can join us.

For more upcoming events, just scroll down two posts, or search "events". Thanks.

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."

What's It All About?

What is being a Christian all about? Is it about going to church once a week and getting your "frequent worshipper card" punched enough times to get one free trip to Heaven when you die? Is it about being such a good, moral person that when you die God will not find it necessary to send you to Hell? Is it about being a nice person who is always smiling and never makes anyone feel anything unpleasant in any way, but constantly exudes nothing but sweetness and light? What do you think? What's the right answer?

Tonight at Oasis we'll be studying what the Bible indicates the Christian life is really all about. I hope you will join us -- especially if you are not very sure you know the answer.

It all starts at 7:30pm tonight (and every Wednesday during the semester) at CCVT's campus house. (Directions to the campus house available in the side bar to the right.)

Hope to see you soon,
Steve
