A shorter challenge this week, but a challenge none-the-less. Beau and I received a message earlier today from a former BSU student who said they were in a conversation with a friend who didn’t believe in Jesus, but wanted to, but didn’t want to. The friend believed “Something” caused/created all this, but doesn’t believe the Bible or Adam and Eve… The friend is scared of Hell, but doesn’t believe in Hell.
My response was that this friend was smack-dab in the middle of Romans 2:15 The verse talks about those who aren’t believers are being drawn to God through their questioning conscience… and that even those who have never heard the name of Jesus can find Him and call on Him (I actually heard a testimony this past Sunday of this VERY THING happening in India).
This friend is right in the middle of Romans 2:15 and is beginning to recognize DEEPLY IN THEIR SOUL their need for a Savior and that there’s more than what that friend currently knows. Pray for that friend, and the former BSU student as they talk.
BUT, here’s the challenge - who is in your life right now that’s facing some similar questions? Do you know someone like that? ARE YOU someone like that? If you’re in one of these two groups, keep reading. If you’re not in one of these two groups, get in one of these two groups and keep reading.
If you KNOW someone like that, TALK WITH THEM. You don’t have to have all the answers… you WILL have the answers to speak when you NEED the answers to speak (we have that guarantee in Luke 12:12 . God isn’t interested in your deep theological training - He’s interested in your heart and your desire to help others find life through Jesus the way you (and many of us) have. Pray, and go for it. Is it scary? maybe. Will it be worth it? ABSOLUTELY.
If you ARE someone like that, TALK WITH US. Any one of the leaders in commUNITY church (or anyone else you know is following Jesus) would LOVE to sit down with you and a cup of coffee (or hot chocolate) and chat about your questions and concerns. You may not get ALL the answers you want right away, but you WILL get enough answers to help you continue on your journey. Will it be scary to ask? maybe. Will it be worth it? ABSOLUTELY.
You don’t have to wonder… you can know. So, let’s chat!
