the other day was my first time to share the gospel and see people accept Christ. it was an amazing feeling. i dont say that to be self-righteous, but to share how awesome it is to see God move in peoples lives.
today was our 2nd large group meeting. it went pretty well. we had about 10 people show up. we had an icebreaker, josh's testimony, tim share about crusade's vision, then worship. we ended with pizza where people just conversed outside of our room.
one thing that blew all of our minds is what we found out after the meeting. josh, our leader, had been talking to two people who seemed to be really teachable and kind hearted. he told us later that they are a cult (christians on campus) and they are trying to convert christians to their cult by coming to our meeting. not only did they come to our first meeting, but they are here for the exact same reason we are: to start a campus ministry. the reason why its so crazy and almost scary is because it shows spiritual warfare at a tangible level. we see people's lives being fought over, and students seeking for truth and finding it in the wrong areas. there is a battle between the God of above and the one below, and we are right in between.
suddenly it feels so good to have God on our side. it feels good to have the God of the universe with us. not only did He defeat sin, he rose from the dead on the third day.take THAT satan!
but of course, this mindset of mine isnt really that beneficial. its not just a battle against the devil, its an opportunity to shower Christs' love towards the lost and needy. i need to have that mindset. instead of just viewing people in cults as devilish, i need to see them as God's creation.
well now that i'm caught up with you guys, i plan to update more. that way i can write less and write about the littler things in my life that i currently enjoy.
