God Provides More

Last night I got to talk with my friend Nate about the whole "witnessing" thing and he said that he wanted to try it out and see if he loved it as much as I did. We went up to the school and started walking around talking to people and God definitely was convicting hearts before our very eyes. At first Nate was a little nervous about starting up the conversation, but once he got going with it he was definitely pouring himself into it. We got to talk to a couple library workers, a guy and girl, two different groups of guys, then one big group of like 7 or 8 guys which was awesome. Nate and I ended up spliting up halfway through the night because we were talking to two separate groups of guys next to each other and God had ordained it. I went on to talk to the group of 7-8 guys and asked them the question, "What happens after death?" and got varying responses. Then when I asked where they were going, they thought I was going to kill them out there. I told them about the guy we talked to the other night who could have been the guy the cops were looking for and they thought that I was trying to hide the fact that it was me and I was the guy. We all laughed it off, then began discussing what the Bible says about being saved. A few of the guys were trying to get into some frats so I talked to them about how Nate had been into that stuff with all the partying and that now he does a Bible study in the frat. As I was describing how he gave his life to the Lord because God worked on his heart, he came walking up. I introduced the guys to him and he explained it all to them....sharing his testimony. At one point he asked, "What is the purpose of a frat?"....to which one answered, "Brotherhood". Nate asked him what kind of a brotherhood is it if I have a problem and when I share it with a brother all he says is, lets go get trashed and forget about it....then the next morning I still have the problem....to which one guy said, "you have more problems actually." It was very cool. They all agreed that true brotherhood is when you can share your heart with somebody about how your struggling and need help and they help you out...not hide the problem. The night was great and we left feeling great about it all. A few people told us they were definitely coming to the house for our Bible study/fellowship group on thursday nights. God is so good.

Nate's On Fire

At Fan Into Flame, which means at my house, Thursday night, God brought us into conversing about evangelism...and Nate, who once said that this sort of evangelism was SO wrong and just self-righteous, stood up and said that he was very wrong about that.....He said that he has found that evangelism fires up the believer to the point of a purpose for everyday of life....he got so into it that he said, "I've gotta go now" and walked out....he came back a few hours later and told an amazing story about how he had gone straight to the KA house (because hes in the frat) and parked his car to talk to folks on campus. Well they were having a party at the house and he got to share with a few of his buddies there about how horrible it is live for this life and how they need to turn to Christ....they all left....he didn't stop....he then went to the UC and talked with some guys skateboarding....one rejected him, the other didn't.....he told the atheist who talked with him t...

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 ...

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...
