Goldmsiths CU...society of the year?!
Every year the Students Union hold an awards night to give awards to outstanding societies, soceity members etc. There's trophies and prizes and drinks and stuff. Today I had a phone call to say that the Christian Union have been nominated as college society of the year! Crazy. So on Friday when the awards ceremony occurs, we might win...maybe. I was wondering whether it's a good thing. I think it is in the sense that we've been really active this year and made our presence known, we should be doign things that mean we live peaceably with all etc etc. But at the same time I wonder how much we should actually be hated for what we stand for and whethr therefore we stand firm enough...hmmm, anyway.

The Union (who we're not members of) here are always saying how RUCU are 'the loudest soc on campus'...i hope this is a good thing. I hope we're loud with the Gospel rather than ourselves. If your blogs anything to go by, i'm sure Goldsmiths CU is the former!
My old CU at St Mary's kept having the SU say how much of a positive impact it has and the general opinion of the CU is high on campus since events are good and the people are loving. But at the same time the CU is also facing real persecution from those who take issue with the exclusivity of the gospel. Both reactions are to be expected. I don't think it's a bad thing that you're up for this award at all! We should be likeable people having a positive impact. It makes sense that sometimes it will be recognised. The two aren't mutually exclusive, but we just need to make sure that we'd rather be kicked off campus for preaching the gospel than gladhanded for watering it down. Rest assured that God will get glory out of this whatever the result! Will be praying. Keep us posted.
Congrats sis, enjoy the moment, they don't come about that often. God gives us many different situations to deal with and success comes in many forms. You are right to question whether you are being a real witness when congratulated by a secular organisation, questioning is always good. Think then move on. If something needs changing then fix it, if not then just enjoy the moment, it may never come along again.
Just a thought, God rewards those who are faithful to him.
I'm proud of you sis.x
