I went to the mall with pastor Rick today with the purpose to ask the question, "What is your perseption of God (Positive or Negative)?"
We got a lot of responses, most of them being nuetral, but one stuck out, and it was my last interview. I asked this woman this same question and her response to me was, "I'm not going to get into religion today!!!" I told her ok and walked away. How would you deal with a response like that, she clearly did not want to talk about God.
As I was walking back to the car, it struck me, we all have to deal with that question. We can either choose to deal with it now or in eternity! If it was up to me (and it is) I want to deal with it now. I choose to belive by faith that:
1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
5. The third day he rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:
9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:
10. The forgiveness of sins:
1l. The resurrection of the body:
12. And the life everlasting. Amen.
I want to deal with knowing that I am saved by a God in Jesus Christ that loves me so much that we would die for me and that I can place my whole trust in him!
I know which side of the cross I am on, do you? If you need to talk to someone about this concept, email me at srncyouth@pacbell.net
