Joe: Yesterday
Yesterday I was informed by my friend lily about what some of the nonchristians on campus think of me.
“Joe is so eccentric. If you want a speech on religion, you know who you should talk to? Joe.”
Hmm. Is this good or bad? I was sitting there thinking, shoot Am I messing up? Am I being a bad example of christ?
I was pondering over this question and then it occurred to me that I just need to be normal. I don’t need to force Christianity. I just need to move according to how God moves me. How do I know where and how God is moving me? I know if . Do I want to do this? Do I want to share to them? If the answer is no, then I know not to.
What are my motives for reaching out to them? I think it’s pure. I don’t think I’m imposing the Bible on them, so I think I’m okay. I’m saying the Gospel, I’m not reducing it, I’m not adding on to it. I think I’m doing it right.
IF they don’t like me, is that an issue? How does one deliver the Gospel most effectively?
It does say the World will hate me.
I think I’m doing it right.
But I must, like paul says, sprinkle grace like salt into my conversation.
