Every preacher wants to hear stories on Monday of how people are applying the truth from Sunday.
I just heard one that I have to share here.
One of our members was walking down the street this morning.
She walked alongside a kind of rough looking young guy.
She was thinking of the simple exhortation yesterday to just take some simple steps to reach out.
So she asked they guy a question.
“Do you believe in God?”
He looked at her kind of funny and said “Yeah. I guess I do.”
She went on to tell him, simply and succinctly, that she just wanted him to know that he could know for sure who God is and what life is all about. She asked him if he knew Jesus Christ.
He responded “I just got out of prison. Somebody told us all about Jesus while I was in there. I know about him dying on the cross for my sins and stuff like that.”
She asked him if if he had turned from his sin to trust Jesus personally.
“No. I have never done that” was his quiet reply.
“Well, you should. There are men at our church that you would love to meet. Some of them have been where you are. I know for a fact they would take time to meet with you, hear your story and help you out.”
She gave him contact information for RBC. She prayed for him. She told me and now I am praying for him too.
I am thrilled to hear her story.
And I want to hear more.
What simple step can you take today? Take one.
And let me know about it soon.
