Students Nationwide Challenged To Read and Live Scripture

Matthew 17:20 Jesus answered, “Because your faith is too small. I tell you the truth, if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. All things will be possible for you.

A major youth outreach is taking place today called “Fields of Faith” where students will meet at athletic fields to read and be challenged to “live out” the Scriptures.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is organizing the event.

“The reality is we are losing the spiritual war in America,” Fields of Faith’s website states. “There is a movement in our country to remove God from the public square. It is rapidly taking ground and grows more emboldened every day.”

“Christian teens are being assaulted by a highly organized pagan culture. Christian teens are not reading the Scriptures; they have no way of fighting back.  They are depending on their churches to make them feel good about their faith. Meanwhile, our culture is descending into the same abyss that Josiah had to face.”

The FCA attributes much of the problem to students not reading their Bibles or understanding the guidelines God gives us to live a pure and holy life.

Over 450 locations are taking place in the event.  Over 170,000 students participated in the event last year.
