Did you graduate from Liberty?

Meagan has changed her mind, or should I say made up her mind, about college.  She wanted to go to UNC Greensboro, and a few other places but then said she thought she wanted to go to Liberty.  So, we're in a scramble to attempt to benefit from some early sign-ups incentives being offered.  I don't understand some of them I'll admit.  Some of the scholarships are a bt strange to me. One is a letter stating Meagan attends church, another is an alumni scholarship.  I called Liberty admissions because I was somewhat confused by everything (I still am actually).  I asked the lady about the alumni scholarship.  I told her that we didn't know any, except for "the famous" that have graduated from there.  She said "well, you don't have to know them personally, just get a name and address, they don't actually check it."  So, I set off in search of a name and address.  I called Roger and got a few maybes, but then Babe told me someone who works at M&M had a child who graduated from Liberty.  So we'll type a letter with the name and address of a person we don't know and get $500 per year.  It makes no sense, but any financial help is ok by me. 

You know alot of people are living their lives with this same mindset.  "As long as I know there is a Jesus, nobody's  going to check and see if I KNOW him." Not true. God checks, and His checks aren't random, they're constant.  Many people think that just because they believe there is a God that they are entitled to full benefits that are only made available to His children.  James 2:19   You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.  This vague belief of something out there bigger than you won't cut it.  Even belief in God isn't enough without acceptance. 

I see celeberities who are rich and have what appears to be the life any person would want, claim their spiritual life in abstract and it makes me want to vomit. So many unbelievers get lured by these gods of false everything.  

Don't do that.  I say this as a person who has to intentionally pull away from getting too focused on the life I think I want sometimes.
