to?<\/b><\/strong><\/p><p>Face it. \u00a0When choosing which colleges to apply for admission, you want to go to the best college that you qualify for. \u00a0When choosing which college offer to accept, you want to accept the one that gives you the best steppingstone to grow to the next educational level and best positions you for application to promising careers. \u00a0However, there are more valuable and important matters that you need to consider when choosing amongst colleges. \u00a0Those that concern your whole future on earth\u2014spiritual growth, servitude, holiness, marriage, and pleasing God.<\/p><p>\u201cMake the choice that you think God wants you to make, and just do what you think is right. \u00a0Life always continues, despite the choices people make.\u201d<\/p><p>No matter what choices you make, God\u2019s love for you never disappears. \u00a0If your decision reflects your won love for God, He will surely provide. \u00a0For example, if you think that God wants you to better serve Him, then choose the college (and location) where the opportunity resides.<\/p><p><strong><b>Making the Transition to College<\/b><\/strong><\/p><p>Transitioning to college can be nerve wrecking if you do not know what to expect. \u00a0If you chose a college with your local church presence, then the transition would be smoother because of familiarity and trust in fellow members\u2014you know what to expect and they of you. \u00a0It would be like moving into a family who shares the same core values in God. \u00a0You will get more than social friendship. \u00a0You will experience Godly fellowship and perhaps campus fellowship opportunities when you collaborate with the local youth fellowship group. \u00a0In the process, you can have fun activities too like going out for dinners, cooking, singing and celebrating festivities together. \u00a0You will not be alone. \u00a0You will be amongst friends who care and love others in His ways.<\/p><p><strong><b>Growing\u2014and receiving more blessings\u2014beyond the College environment<\/b><\/strong><\/p><p>Participating in serving God helps you develop responsibility and accountability. \u00a0It also comes with blessings. \u00a0The servitude can range from hymnal leading to piano playing to leading bible studies. \u00a0Go ahead and give your best to the Master.<\/p><p><strong><b>Opening Your Eyes<\/b><\/strong><\/p><p>Besides learning academics, you will learn how to love God even more when you serve Him. \u00a0God answers the prayers of those who have pure motivations. \u00a0Seek earnestly for Him and trust the Lord with all your heart. \u00a0You will see what gifts He has given you and you make the best use of them to be a useful vessel for Him and His people. \u00a0\u201c<em><i>Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.\u00a0And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.\u00a0Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?\u00a0Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?\u00a0Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.\u201d 1 Corinthians 12:27-31.<\/i><\/em><\/p><p><strong><b>Trust and No Worries<\/b><\/strong><\/p><p>When you put all your trust in God, you never need to worry because He is in control, and you will be at peace. \u00a0<em><i>\u201cSo do not worry, saying, \u2018What shall we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we wear?\u2019\u00a0For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.\u00a0But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.\u00a0Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.\u201d \u00a0Matthew 6:31-34<\/i><\/em>.<\/p><p>When you put God first in your life, everything else will fall into place. \u00a0All you must do is seek earnestly for Him and trust in Him. \u00a0God is far more important and powerful than anything this world has to offer. \u00a0If you put God first in your life, you can also be confident that God will bless you abundantly not only with material or college blessings, but more importantly, with spiritual blessings. \u00a0<\/p><p>Go ahead and put God first in your life. \u00a0Choose amongst the many activities we have in our church to do what\u2019s pleasing to Him. \u00a0\u00a0You are invited to attend our Fall Evangelical Services and Spiritual Convocation (ESSC) from September 14 to 17, 2023 at our church location as follows:<\/p><p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>For online streaming, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p><p>For regular service hours, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\">click here<\/a>.<b><\/b><\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you choose which college to go to?
