Praise God!!! I was able to witness today. A older man that has been coming to our outpatient clinic came today and gave me this opportunity. I knew that he wasn't saved, just based on the way he walked and talked. Somehow we got on the discussion about the end of times and I said that I liked reading the book of revelations. He asked why? I then told him, "I guess I like to know the way the story ends". Well he then proceeded to ask questions (and laughing the entire time). He said "Now, I want to ask you something, and I am just asking...how do you know that Muslims aren't believing the right thing?" I think we have all had this same question at some point or another and just staying in teh word and reading reveals the answer, but Martha (secretary who is a christian) responded. She said because if you are saved and you believe the scripture you know that religions that make their own idols are false and Muslims do that. I also followed up by--"if you believe that you are a christian ,in which you said you are, then you would have no other reason to believe otherwise. Our christianity faith is based on one God and one God alone. He tells us in the 10 commandments to have no other God's before me and to not make idols for yourselves. I also asked him what does being a christian mean to him and he responded by saying "if I treat people good and do right and try not to do anything bad." I responded by "that's not what a true christian is". Well we went on discussing and later I asked him " Would you like me to get you some material" and he responded and laughed saying "No". I could not beleive how it did not bother me that he was laughing at me, but then I thought to myself he laughed in discomfort. This man has recently been diagnosed with a disease that is quickly killing him. I pray that you girls will pray for him and that God would convict him with the things that we said and make him start questioning and searching for answers. Pray that God would seek him. Emails are so hard to tell a story because you can't hear the tone of my voice, but rejoice with me. This was an awesome opportunity for me.
