9/27/10 Kevin, about 20
After so many long gospel conversations lately, its hard to imagine that a two minute conversation could do much good. But if I am trusting in the Holy Spirit rather than my own efforts, who am I to limit God ? Luke (church elder) and I enjoyed a time of fellowship, walking around the neighborhood and looking to initiate a gospel conversation or two. I spoke with a young man waiting for the bus (Kevin) who was the opposite of Dan (yesterday) because he offered little opinion about anything spiritual. Was this because he didn't want to get in an extended conversation with the bus on its way, or because he truly hadn't thought much about it? I may never know this side of heaven but I did get some of God's word in his hand and some gospel truths in his heart before the bus arrived. Long conversation or short, seeds can be planted that only God can make grow. (1 Corinthians 3:5-7)
Gospel conversations from the streets and marketplace....

The average person is NOT afraid or uncomfortable to speak about spiritual things. Kevin did not seem put off or shocked by our stopping to talk to him, but he was preoccupied with catching the bus. Maybe parks or places where people are clearly resting/waiting would be best. In our witness, we must always be the initiator, but by God's grace we are not an annoyance. Lord, wake Kevin up from spiritual death, open his eyes to care about his own soul. Amen.
