How did things ever end up this way? Lost over nothing, but everything still. It’s a good thing we can always find consolation in Him. All this crap, yet God answers prayers. As some of you know I have been pondering ministry a bunch lately. There has been a flood of emotions and thoughts in regards to what God wants from us in the sense of evangelism. I spent a part of the night speaking to an ex-member of the Aryan brotherhood about God’s revelation throughout history leading up to Christ as the Messiah. Granted, he might have been on something and I did watch him make a drug deal right in front of me in the middle of our conversation, but IT WAS SURREAL! He kept asking questions of how to understand the bible, spiritual gifts and we talked about prophetic literature. During and after the conversation I had no doubt in my mind that this is what God has been preparing me for in school, in life, in theory. I knew what to say. It was all things that I have learned in my studies. I saw the glory of God in this. I stood my ground as I spoke to a very close, extremely intelligent, Muslim friend tonight. Almost two and a half years of growing relationships and treating this family that God brought into our lives (or God brought us into their lives) and I have finally seen what this ministry should be like in, no longer in theory, but in practice. I pray, among many other things, that this would not cease after tonight, but that these dialogues would continue and the Love of our Lord and Savior would not just be acted out, but DECLARED! Praise be to God for his constant revelation in our lives.
