Turn it off, please!

“You wrote a check to Campus Crusade!” Jorge turned his head toward me and beamed. I was sitting across the desk from our bank manager who was looking at our checking account on his computer. I was not sure why he reacted that way. It turns out he really did not know anything about Campus Crusade. I explained a bit to him about Campus Crusade for Christ and that my husband and I are missionaries. I pulled out the Spanish Four Laws for him. I had talked to this manager before and both times I believed he was a Christian. … Continue reading Turn it off, please!

From Why Won’t They Listen

We are on a road trip, so I am just going to quote today from Ken Ham in Why Won’t They Listen (pp.138 – 9) about some conversations he had with two atheists. “One should always try to push evolutionists to the logical conclusions of their presuppositions. “Like many of the Eastern religions, tradition overrules reason. No matter how you reason with them, the religion they’ve chosen usually overrules what they hear. However, as discussed earlier in the book, we must do our best to reason with them and then leave it to the Holy Spirit to convict and convert. … Continue reading From Why Won’t They Listen

I left her with a tract and with an invitation to come hear a creation speaker at our church. “I’ll come,” she enthused. “My … Continue reading A seed has sprouted

How Long Will The Door Be Open?

“Cops!” Carmen exclaimed. “I jest transferred from a deferent store. They deed not have cops there.” She shook her head and kept staring across the parking lot at a police car. “Well,” I replied, “a liquor store can attract trouble.” If I’m available to God, I accept help with my grocery cart so I have a few minutes to talk with the “bagger.” It helped that Carmen was chatty, even if her English was hard to understand. After my groceries were loaded in the car, I handed her a Spanish Four Laws and pointed out the Da Vinci Code web … Continue reading How Long Will The Door Be Open?

DaVinci DiLemma

mikeandsus

“Have you read The DaVinci Code?” Bruce asked in his warm, London accent. “No,” we admitted, our thoughts searching for any useful nugget in our brains that we could unearth for this occasion. This was a year ago before the recent media hype. Our winter neighbors, Bruce and Sarah, were over for dessert and a game of Cranium. God practically dropped this opening in our laps to talk about spiritual things and we didn’t know how to handle it! Later, when The DaVinci Code mini-magazines came out in February this year, I took two copies next door to Bruce and … Continue reading DaVinci DiLemma
