This evening I went to the IMU to hear Rick James, author of Jesus Without Religion, speak. When we got there we found out that Rick was not there because his flight was cancelled. We heard his talk by video and asked questions through skype. I really enjoyed listening to him speak. He said the facts in a good way. He didn't try to shove Jesus down people's throats. He gave the facts and basically said do what you want with it.

I'm really glad I decided to go because hearing about Jesus and his love is something that always gets to me in some way. It was brought up at one point that there are people practicing other religions and some who have never really heard about God. If there are people who have never heard about God how are they supposed to find him and worship him? I do believe if some people want to find God badly enough it will happen. But so many people need to hear about God's love.

This is what made me think. Who is going to tell these people about God? That's our job as Christians right? I have this love for Jesus that makes me feel so amazing so I should share it with others, right?

It's not just hard for me to think about going out to people I have never met to tell them about Christ. I almost find it harder to talk to friends and family about Jesus. Why am I so scared? Shouldn't the thought of Hell scare me more than going up to someone I love and sharing Christ's amazing love with him or her. This is something I need to keep thinking and praying about and acting on.
