"No Christian is without fault, me included."
--Kirk Cameron
earlier today i randomly happened upon kirk cameron's religious website...or was it divine intervention? either way, i landed at wayofthemaster.com which i will not link because i don't want them coming to get me to punish me for my sins.
the website is awesome and, hell, if you need saving, it's the place for you. kirk does a weekly newsletter in which he relates lovely parables and little anecdotes from his own life. there's this quality story about him playing golf with a guy and then deciding that he needed saving. here's some excerpts:
I had never heard of anyone who believed that God didn't care about right and wrong, good or bad. When I asked the next question- "Is there a Hell?" Ray didn't think so, because in his mind, if God didn't care about wrong then He certainly wouldn't create a place of punishment for wrongdoers.
It was obvious who I would be witnessing to on this golf outing.
(i think that means that it was obvious whose golf game he would be ruining with his incessent talk of God and sin.)
As Ray looked like his heart was sinking, I gently asked him if he could see his need for God's forgiveness. He said, "Yes." Outside I was calm, inside I was leaping with joy! He could see his need for forgiveness-now he could see his need for a Savior. Now was the time to tell him about Jesus.
(i.e. now was the time to pounce on him and tell him what a sinner he was.)
I explained that he'd never be able to earn his way into heaven. He'd lied, stolen, committed adultery, idolatry, blasphemy, and has no excuse. But God will give him forgiveness as a gift if he will repent of his sins and place his faith in Jesus Christ alone to save him.
so quality. the story is actually really long and filled with awesome parts about how he tells his friend he's going to Hell and all this other stuff. man, why aren't any of my "friends" like that?
