There was no church like home. There was - hey, was that a lady with Toto on a bicycle I just saw?

I intend on reading the articles and may comment again tomorrow. However, may I give a knee jerk reaction? I was saved less than a year before moving off for college (junior year). I probably would have never darkened the door of a church. It was the college's BSU (I know...now it is BCM) that not only pulled me in, gave me a new family...a Christian one at that, and begin discipling me but they also got me into a local church. It was my new friends...my new brothers and sisters in Christ that invited to the church they attended. I attended that church regularly the reminder of my days in college. BCMs are not the final answer but they are an incredible tool for not only reaching lost college age kids but also keeping "our" kids in church. Thats my two cents anyway. More later.
