A Personal First

(School policy that is both witty and serious.)

Today is Tuesday the 23rd. Today I shared the "Knowing God Personally" booklet with a guy at Medgar Evers, the historically black college. I talked with him for like an hour, and he loved to talk about life and spiritual perceptions and the truth. This guy knows God is real, but he never really made it his own. I feel like he's a step closer because I tried to nail down some core truths to the gospel with him and he agreed with them. We got his contact info and he got ours, and he said he'd love to try a Bible study if we got one started there at his college. Hopefully, he'll get saved and keep developing his faith. I stressed the neccessity of a personal relationship with Jesus and he agreed that that's the only way it really means anything at all, besides an empty set of rules. He at the very least knows the existence of God and always believed. He says you can't deny truth which is self-evident, and he sees God that way. He just doesn't really know Him personally quite yet as a friend and perpetual source of love and acceptance... although I think he's really close. But it was the first time I'd gone through that booklet, alone. I'm amazed at what I can do through Christ who strengthens me.
