"Seven Tips for College Students" from John Piper

I really enjoy the "Ask Pastor John" podcast. A couple of days ago he focused on some counsel for college students, and I hope you will listen to it.  It is short (~8 minutes).

Here are the seven headings of what he discussed:

1. Love God
2. Love Others
3. Be saturated in the Bible
4. Be done with self-reliance
5. Belong to a local church
6. Be guarded from loving the world
7. Test all things by the Word of God

Under his last point he says,

Finally, you have one life to live. And it is not a good thing to experiment with it. What will make life work? What will make my eternity happy? God did not give you life to experiment with. He gave you life and he gave you a book. God has spoken. It is not a matter of experimentation. It is a matter of application of God’s Word to everything. He knows all things. He knows what will make you happy in the moment. He knows what will make your life count for the here and now. So trust him.

Good stuff.
