If only we could have college without the homework. The real problem with school, you see, is all the classes — the lectures, the assignments, the papers, and the exams. The whole experience has so much potential if it weren’t weighed down with the burdens of learning. It’s the familiar lament of most students, the dirge rising up from desks on campuses all across the nation. We all know it’s not really justified or even serious, but it doesn’t keep anyone from grumbling. But before you let yourself complain again about the suffering of schoolwork, think about how empowering learning can be. This two-minute video helps the Christian student see studying for what it really is, a rare and awesome privilege. — Matt Reagan is a veteran campus minister.

Desiring God
"Most people in the world have no experience of deep and abiding joy.
Even though it is something we all desperately long for, the assurance that true happiness can be known — fully and forever — is a hope that billions of people live every day without. This is a tragedy.
Desiring God is on a mission to change that.
We aim to help people everywhere embrace a profound truth that changes everything about life and eternity:
You were created for something greater than yourself. You were formed for something awesome and magnificent.
You were made to know glory — God’s glory. And the deepest longings of the human heart can be fully satisfied by pursuing that glory. In fact, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him."
