As shocking as that question seems, someone actually asked it.
Today was our first day going out and starting spiritual conversations at RMIT City (one of the Uni's). The conversation I got into today once again showed me how hopeless and dark the world is without Christ. Me and my friend Steven went out sharing today. The first conversation we had lasted a little bit over an hour and covered a whole slew of topics.
We started talking to a guy named George and asked him if he would be interested in taking a spiritual survey about his world view and what he believe. As the conversation went on, it was obvious to see the lack of faith. He couldn't be sure of anything. He couldn't be sure Jesus ever existed, couldn't be sure the Bible was true, couldn't be sure WW II happened, couldn't be sure that the conversation he was having with us was even real.
I knew the spiritual climate in Australia was rough, but this conversation made it real to me.
The good news is that we were able to go through what we believe and what it means to be a christian. We were able to have a spiritual conversation with him that hopefully got him thinking about things. You never know how God is going to use this in his life. This conversation might have pushed him one more step closer to God. Maybe, maybe not.
Another praise is that I wasn't discouraged by today's conversation. Even though no one accepted Christ today, I didn't walk away feeling defeated. Honestly, I was just happy that he was able to hear the gospel.
Praise: That we do know the Truth. That we know we have a purpose in life and it isn't hopeless. That we can place our faith in something trustworthy and good.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me -John 14:6
Prayer: For George, for God to be working in his heart and taking the blinders off his eyes.
Prayer: That our team continues to get over sickness. I'm feeling better, but still not back to 100%.
