Honest College Students
While it is not always true, we would expect students at a Christian university to be honest. It is not always true because when I was an undergraduate student at Faulkner in the early 90s, my hard-back Thompson Chain Reference Bible – with my name engraved on it, no less – was picked up by someone and never returned. But, we would otherwise expect there to be a higher percentage of honest students at a Christian college than at a state university.
If your impression of students at state universities is negative, maybe this story will give you some hope. At SUNY New York, three college students bought a sofa from a Salvation Army store. The couch was quite lumpy but they ignored the lumps for a while. When they had put it off as long as they could, they had to determine what was causing the lumps.
$40,000 in $100 and $50 bills! But these students – contrary to our prejudices towards the younger generation, college students, or state-university students – used the withdrawal slip to help them track down the owner.

Honesty – as Mom always said – is the best policy. Even if there was no immediate, tangible reward, there is the reward of being honest and trustworthy in the sight of God, the Father.
And His Son said, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Luke 16:10-13).
We ought to be faithful with what is ours and what belongs to another. God will bless us for our honesty.
