Spiritual Aggression
It is a curious thing to me that Christianity seems to always work best on the offensive. Culture is not neutral and to attempt to maintain is to lose ground. However, as the gospel goes forth, it transforms (or better to say it accentuates the good) of any culture. The basic essence of the gospel makes a difference.
This is why we are healthiest on the attack. By attack I do not mean in antagonistic fashion with culture (evangelical mistake in the culture war), but an aggression with the goodness of the gospel that changes the very perspective of God in any given setting. Doing good in the name of God so that God's named is glorified among the godless even while the godless are coming to know him.
On a campus setting, we do not have the ability to build and maintain (Thank God). We must move into the darkness of the campus culture and win those who will carry the glory of God into the next generation. If we do not, we will be frustrated in our anemic state and God will raise up something else to get the job done.
Enough doom and gloom. Lets take the world.

Shane,
I found a cool deal you can put on your blog on the right column. It takes some html but I'm sure some genius in your office can figure it out. But you can offer visiters to your blogs to syndicate your blogs in their yahoo, msn, etc browsers. That way they don't have to visit your blog to see if you have a new article. They can just log onto their yahoo page. You need to visit www.feedburner.com and sign up. In there somewhere is the option to get this on your site. for an example, visit http://fuelmovements.blogspot.com and look on the right. You'll see some yahoo, msn stuff.
enjoy.
