I'm guessing the original owes its existence to John Roeckeman or Mark Ashton, two of the most avid players. There were never any goal markers, just an informal course. With the movement and addition of buildings over the past couple years, some revision is long overdue. Has anyone else used a disc course at Cedar Campus?

A discipline of prayer can ensure that God is the driving force in our decisions, especially in a season full of disappointments.

It's important because it's crucial for understanding who Jesus is and what God has done/is doing through Jesus for the redemption of the world. David_Suryk 06.27.2007 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/5310 In this talk I investigate whether it's rational or reasonable to believe the Christian message. Do we need evidence to believe? If not, why not? But if so, what counts as evidence? Who decides? On what basis? I want to address the subject of whether bright, thoughtful people—such as people who teach and study in the universities of the world—people who do not yet believe the Christian message—people such as these, do they have good reason to believe? Hopefully this talk will help Christians better understand these issues as well. For thoughtful Christians, of course, the issue is should they believe what they have believed? This is a little piece of religious epistemology and apologetics.

Rich_Lamb 03.08.2000 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/4806 People don't just need some new piece of information about Jesus or some more effective or more relevant "plan of salvation." Often the barrier to faith for them is something that comes prior to that. What they need help in is in thinking about how to believe something that is a radically new claim about reality, which is Jesus. This talk (given to Christian faculty) explores biblically how Jesus challenged his contemporaries including the apostle Paul to think outside the box. It then looks at the categories of thought that keep people today at the University from considering the Gospel and how to help them think in new ways. It provides many stories of how this has happened on campus. David_Suryk 09.12.2002 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/5624 Create a personal calendar that reflects your most important values.
