Witnessing On Campus Rocks!

So I went with Clay and Brad the other night witnessing and we were waiting at the crosswalk to go over Oak street when 4 girls caming jogging up behind us and stopped. I decided to teach them about what life is all about for the few minutes we had. So in order to start up a Spiritual conversation I showed them my curved illusions tract. It was great way to switch to Spiritual and they soon all got into what I was talking about. They share their thoughts about God and I got to tell them what the Bible, which was the first thing to talk about the eternal God, says about God. They were all so very interested and I got to ask them if they knew if they would go to Heaven when they died. They each answered "no" and I was soon able to go through the whole law and the grace of Jesus Christ and explain to them that no Bible verse says to ask Jesus into your heart, it says to repent (turn) from your sin (the thing that separates you from God) and take up your cross daily to follow Jesus. Mandy and Aubray, the two twins with them told me that they had wanted a relationship with Jesus but didn't every truly feel like they had one. They said that they now understood the Gospel and were going to help each other to follow after Christ everyday from that point on. I then got to talk to a guy named Chris who said you couldn't be sure of salvation and I shared John 3:16 emphasizing WILL NOT perish but have eternal life and he understood. I also got to talk to three other people who claimed Christianity and understood the whole Gospel. The guy of the group cussed a lot and said that though everyone has a conscience to know things are bad, they don't see that things are bad unless they grew up with parents who said it was. I asked, "what about raping children?" and he said that even that was something some people don't know is bad. At this statement, the girls were yelling at him that "Yes, everyone knows thats bad!" He said that he would stick to what he thought and as I was walking away, he told cussed and said that now everytime he did, he would feel bad...to which I said, "Good, that means that you are starting to see your sin as God does." God is good and I feel that this semester is gonna be amazing if we continue to pursue in obedience.

Giving it up and Just Meeting God

I was about to go to bed the other night when Doug told me he wanted to just chill with me and talk about what God is up to. I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day and was acting as though God would waste some of my time. I have now come to the conclusion that God deserves my time...even if it means me only getting about 4 hrs of sleep, like I did last night. I think this is gonna teach me to discipline myself about all the stuff I go to and do with other people so that I can sit and just chill with God for a while each day. I don't like the term "quiet time" because its just so lame sounding....I prefer Chill Time. I think if God were to use up to date lingo, he would call it chill time. I mean, why can't we just be still and know that He is God. I also think this will strengthen my love for Him and for others. If I really put the day into perspective BEFORE it starts, I know that things will go smoother with God on His rightful...

6 Ways to Stay Humble

An old country song goes like this: “Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way.” Most of us would not put it so bluntly, but we all find it hard to be humble. The problem with us is that we forget who we are in the grand scheme of things. We must remember that we are but dust created in the image of God and made to display His worth. One particular passage of Scripture is thoroughly helpful in turning our eyes off our own navels and onto God’s glory: Philippians 2:5-11. By meditating on the gospel in this text, even the most prideful among us will be leveled low. To stay in a humbled position... 1. Feast your eyes on the matchless glory of Christ (vv. 5-6) “ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped …” Paul ascends to breathe the air of Mount Everest in this ancient hymn of the church. He speaks of Jesus’ divinity and equal status as God ...

Use Your Gift!

The past few weeks, I have not been using the gift that God has given to me. Ever since my freshmen year of college God has revealed to me that He has given me the gift of boldness in evangelism. I know that evangelism is not a gift, but a command so that is why I see that boldness in it is what He has blessed me with. As I purposed to use my gift in the beginning of college to the glory of God, many people were raised from the dead and brought into Spiritual life and many blind eyes have been opened. The more I practiced evangelism, the more I saw my knowledge of it and passion for it grow. This summer, God told me to try out this youth internship at a church to see if it is really what He wants for me to pursue because I love youth ministry as well....or did. This has been an amazing summer and I love it, but God showed me that this is not for me at all. I have a burning passion, a pumping heart, an all out raw desire to tell people straight up the Gospel. So, because of m...
