(josh) It's been awhile since Jenny & I have hit the streets. While we firmly believe that we all should be a constant witness in every area of our lives, we also believe that it is good for us to stretch ourselves and go out to the community and see what people think of the One whom we call Lord and Savior.
Today was one of those days. We headed downtown Charlottetown to see what people think they believe.
As soon as we got out of our car, I approached a gentleman sitting in his car next to us.
"Excuse me man, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"What do you think about Jesus?"
And from there, an hour and a half conversation ensued. We talked about EVERYTHING from conspiracy theories, to how we "earn" a place in heaven, to addictions, to etc etc etc. I don't think this fellow ever had someone explain to him the basic tenants of Christianity before, but on this day, although he agreed that I had given him loads to think about, he was not ready to believe Jesus was exactly who the Bible says He is.
It's interesting, going out on the streets and interrupting people's lives with the question of eternity. Although we live in a Christian nation, there really are few that I've talked to who know the Gospel. Our responsibility to share the Gospel has not ceased. It is stronger than ever.
