What’s in a College? :: Deeper Devotion
What’s in a College?
Fall is here and the rush is on! Are you searching for a good starting point in the hunt for a Christian college or university? While this list is by no means “all-inclusive”, we here at Deeper Devotion thought we might give you a helping hand by doing some of the preliminary research for you. We have narrowed the list down to 15 schools from California to Pennsylvania. All of these schools profess to be Christian institutions. However, there is a wide range of theological views and lifestyle expectations represented here, so make sure you take a closer look at any school before submitting an application. Following the list of colleges and universities we have also included several tools to help you search colleges and scholarships on your own. College will be one of the greatest seasons of your life, so pray hard and choose wisely! We hope this list assists you in this decision. Enjoy!

Why Not Draw Near?

Luke 5:1Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around [Jesus] and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
God desires for us to seek after Him like we would search for a lost treasure (Matthew 13:44). He expects us to press around Jesus with as […]

Just curious why Bob Jones University wasn't mentioned…I always thought it was a fairly large and well known college…lol, purpose of this post? to let people know about BJU

Oh I've just figured out how to post now…haha…I don't know why I didn't see the area that let you post sooner. Anyway, I wanted to provide a link to a good Christian liberal arts college that is strong in academics, especially in the science of Biology…which I'm interested in because I'm interested in possibly going into Nutrition and Holistic Medicine and being an alternative doctor…and actually building people's immune systems up by providing the right minerals,nutrition and amino acids, etc that we need to live a long and healthy life. The Lord said we have 120 years here…but we aren't living that long because of our diets and because we are taking rock minerals and not minerals derived from plants which our body can absorb. Anyway, that kind of stuff is really interesting to me and may also be to someone else.

Lol, I just kept rambling about what I was interested in that I forgot to provide the link.

It is like a sister college to Wheaten that is in Illionis. These colleges are kind of the "Harvward" colleges among Christian colleges.
