important talks

It's a pretty important thing.

The words of one with doubts... concerning faith in God...

Yes... it is a pretty important thing... one worth talking about to those who doubt...

Yet... those conversations are the hardest to start... the ones about God... and faith... conversations with those who don't believe... or those you don't know what they believe...

But... it's a pretty important thing...

Giving invitations to a Bible study... one at my house... prompted to ask neighbors... Hard to invite when you don't know... awkward... for an introvert... maybe for one extroverted too... when it has to do with faith...

Still... I asked... invited...
One attended... one who purchased a Bible to come... she did not have one of her own... but she does now...

Another conversation... with a doubter...
over cookies and coffee...
I offered thanks to him for talking with me... he responded with thanks for talking to him... saying...

It's a pretty important thing...

Yes... it's a pretty important thing...

"...The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

"'In him we live and move and have our being';

as even some of your own poets have said,

"'For we are indeed his offspring.'

Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."   Acts 17: 24-31 ESV

Heavenly Father... do not let me miss another opportunity to talk with others about the only thing that is truly important... Jesus...
