People I meet

I think a lot of people really aren't convinced by any of the usual arguments/evidence that American Christians give about God.

Really, what makes Him real? How can they know?
The truth of The Bible and the love of His people are great--But I think that God moving in POWER is what would really get their attention.

If God is real, then He does everything He says He does in The Bible.
But we don't see that here. No wonder people don't believe.

Christianity looks really unbalanced here in America.

I told a co-worker today about what's happening in Mozambique, Africa.
I told him about some of the miracles.
He said to me, "I'm surprised, I didn't think you'd believe in that stuff."
    "Why?," I asked.
"Because you're so logical."
    "But how could I not believe in the whole thing (Christianity)?!"

So he gave me the argument that he could trip on LSD and say he sees god, etc. And how could I tell him he was wrong?

So then I told him that I could judge it against The Bible, though he doesn't hold that as a standard.

    So I ultimately said, "Well, I could ask to see your god do something, and then we could see my God do something, and we'll see who's real, and who's greater."
    "As soon as I see your god start doing miracles or signs, then I'll consider it."
"I guess if yours did, then I would too!," he said.
    "Touche."

Isn't that the real question?
How can I know your God is real?
How can I know your God is the one true God?

And to me, that is my current #1 reason to "press in" and spend time with God.
I want to see more of his works in my life, and more of his signs all around.
So they would know, and so those who know would know Him more.
