A Slice of Infinity Snippets:
I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the Gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out. I remember well in the early days of my Christian faith talking to a close Hindu friend. He was questioning the experience of conversion as being supernatural. He absolutely insisted that conversion was nothing more than a decision to lead a more ethical life and that, in most cases, it was not any different from other ethical religions. I had heard his argument before.

But then he said something I have never forgotten: “If this conversion is truly supernatural, why is it not more evident in the lives of so many Christians I know?”

The Irish evangelist Gypsy Smith once said, “There are five Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Christian, and some people will never read the first four.”

One ought to take time to reflect seriously upon the question, Has God truly wrought a miracle in my life? Is my own heart proof of the supernatural intervention of God?

Comments:
How often I get in the way of evangelism. I must rely on God, not my answers about God. It is for freedom that Christ set us free. Therefore, we have not need to be apprehensive when someone questions us. I need to not take offense when someone dogs my faith, but I should see it as opportunity to love. All too often I see it as an opportunity to dog back; when it should be an opening to love - if I truly have a supernatural conversion in my life.
