It's only since I've learned how to share my faith effectively that I realized that what I had done was wrong. I only pray that irreversible damage hasn't been done...<BR/><BR/>Shame on all of us for being so watered down in our Gospel presentation. I know that for me, it was simply a reflection of my own disbelief in the reality of the Gospel. Thank God for his faithfulness and grace!Chad Hutchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535128289755122396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019598.post-1156481634727448922006-08-24T21:53:00.000-07:002006-08-24T21:53:00.000-07:00God's message and his Word(s) do not leave void. M...God's message and his Word(s) do not leave void. My pastor said this last week that "a person never leaves a gospel (meeting or conversation) the same as they were before they came in (or talked to you)." <BR/><BR/>My pastor's wife is in Ireland at home with family for the birth of a new grandbaby. One of her son's friends came to the house and was obviously a drug user (and they knew he was). He was on something this night and he cursed in front of her. He found out from her son that she was a "pastor's wife" [as if that makes any difference]. The friend came over and apologized saying "if he knew she was a Christian he wouldnt have used foul language". He knew there was something different about Christians (their morals and godly lifestyle). She talked to him briefly [from what i understand] and wanted to talk to him about the gospel, but he was "on drugs" and so she felt it was useless (he wasnt in his right mind). Well shortly after that he left to a drug party or gathering and someone there encouraged him to try a new drug. two white tablets - smashed to powder. He took them and died immediately. She was so broken up about this because, as you know, she tried/desired to have a conversation with him about salvation. <BR/><BR/>This situation and the story between the two of them has touched people in America this week, and we are sure that it has touched the lives of those family members and sons of hers who are not saved, including extended family and any of their friends. God's word wont return void. It can even make a way for someone else to come along side them and have the "get right with God" conversation because today could be the last day of their life.Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756462384902082630noreply@blogger.com
