For a classmate
I happen to attend a Christian college that requires prospective students to sign a statement of faith in order to be accepted to the school, so I was surprised to learn today that there is a student in one of my classes who is, in his own words, an "agnostic bordering on atheism." I believe this is a recent development, partly because the very fact that he is attending my college means that he was at least a nominal Christian when he first came here. Please pray for him; students who lose their faith during college rarely ever regain it.
Let others believe in the God who brings men to trial and judges them. I shall cling to the God who resurrects the dead.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

A great many of my friends are closed agnostics, and I worry for them in a similar manner. I say this because I can sympathize and this issue is close to me. Yes, I will pray that your friend is somehow reached for God.
