Wow..., I feel like I set this up and I've just been neglecting putting up new post, but here is a new one, long over due.
Today at lunch I had an interesting event occur at our table. We were sitting there, eating like normal, and this kid came and sat down, no food, just sat and didn't say anything. I don't even know who he is, I've mabey only seen him once before. Anyway, after a minute or two, he raised his head and asked, "Do you think God is real?," at which I replied by vigorously shaking my head yes beacause I had a mouth full of breadsticks. Then ensued a conversation that he began by saying why he didn't think there was a God, and telling us how he saw people using Christianity as a way of just covering your bases, or even how he sees people who praise God when they have a great life, yet hate him when life is bad. We explained how we know God is real because of what he has done in our lives, how we are not just hoping God is real, but that we know he is real and we've felt him. We explained that Christianity is more than religion, but a relationship with Christ. The entire time he respected what we said, as well as us respecting his thoughts. At the end of lunch he took off and didn't give us time to even get a name, but we hoped that at least a seed was planted. At the end of it all it left me remembering why I believe in Christ, and how he saved me from a dark path that was leading me to destruction. I thought of how even when bad things happen God is in control, and I praise him for that. It's amazing how someone asking questions can make you remember why your a Chritian to begin with. So I thought I'd ask, what has God done in your life to show he is there, why do you believe what you believe?
