So many things to do, so little time to do them in. Why did God give me so many things and only 24 hours to do them? Actually it's not really a lot, it's just that I like to procrastinate. Terrible habit. We had a good talk on time management today. How timely. It was a pretty good talk. I think one of the better ones I've heard since my secondary school days.
We hit the streets again today, but with the main goal of evangelising. I was very nervous at the start, I was practicing with Amos in EH over and over, the Bridge to Life. But each time I did it, the more I felt like I was forcing it upon him. So I asked Eric for an alternative, and he showed us one example, by sharing with a pair teenage boys. I can't exactly remember their response...but I learnt a lot from that one sit-in. His version of the gospel was very very subtle, I'm not even sure if the two boys understood what he was doing. But he ran through all the five C's. Creation, Curse, Condemnation, Cross, Call. I'd explain it here, but I'm really too tired to. Anyway, it tried to run the process through my head, and it was quite confusing. So I decided I'd have to try it out myself. So I approached 2 boys, and both turned out to be Christians. What are the chances!! So we were about to leave, and I saw this upper sec boy walking by, so I just approached him, and then I had the opportunity to share the gospel!!! I was so scared that I would do it wrongly or miss something out that would turn him off, but I really got him interested, and now he wants to know more!! I agree with Eric, that when we evangelise, it is a lot to ask a non-christian to just say the sinner's prayer like that, and so we both agreed that a more gentle approach, but more in-depth approach would be better. So we'd explain the whole gospel, about creation, sin, salvation, and finally we'd ask if they'd be interested, and if so, we would share more with them, before they make a decision. That isn't diluting the gospel is it?
The balloons are on their way. Are you ready for them? I know that you will be shocked, and I know that you will have a hard day come Monday, but it's not my intention to frighten you, or make you uncertain, but I just have to let you know, and somehow just saying I like you, isn't enough. So please just consider this before you say anything. I don't even know if you will read this. Otherwise I'm just making a fool of myself.
