4. FAITH ON CAMPUS
(SIX THINGS)
• 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
unless it abides in the vine, neither can
you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the
vine; you are the branches. Whoever
abides in me and I in him, he it is
that bears much fruit, for apart from
me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

5. NO COMPROMISE

what partnership has righteousness with
lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with
darkness? 2 Corin. 6:14
• So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to
do it, for him it is sin. James 4:17

Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48

proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,

pride, foolishness: Mark 7:21
• Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it
flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23

you great and hidden things that you have not
known. Jeremiah 33:3

that I have said to you. John 14:26

not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16

temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41
