From the Station Manager – #16

Ten years from now when you look back on your college days at Cedarville, what will you remember?  Maybe it’s the chapel services, or that time spent with that special someone.  When I look back on my college years one of the experiences that will stick out in my mind will be the late-night  conversations in the dorm.  We’ve all lost sleep to discuss the opposite sex, classes, institutional preferences, and doctrine at some point this year.  And while those discussions probably won’t help you get a “4.0 mug”, the Bible says they are still profitable.

Proverbs 27:17 puts it by saying that just “as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”  The next time you have a choice between going to bed early or spending time talking with the guys in your dorm, choose the guys.  There will never be another four-year period in your life where you will be surrounded by people who are sharpening you so intellectually and spiritually.
