so today in human experience class, we talked about religion diversity. it made me realize that within the class, i am the minority of the majority. the majority claim to be "Christians". i am the minority being a true Christ-follower. i was called out several times. let me tell ya...the words "i don't wanna call anybody out, but i'm going to because i don't care" followed by a look in your direction tends to make your heart beat 3x faster than it was before!! several questions were directed toward me, which i was totally okay with. i was able to flat out share the Gospel and i also got to explain that i sin ALL THE TIME but am covered by the blood of Jesus. the professor directly asked ME several questions instead of directing it towards the whole class. at one point, i even had to tell him, "to be honest, i don't know." i didn't like not knowing, but he said that's what he was going for...he wanted to drill me until i didn't know the answer.
one guy asked what it means to get "saved." i had about 2 seconds to think and 30 seconds to answer before other people interrupted. this made me realize that i won't always have half an hour to explain what i believe in. sometimes i will only have 30 seconds to fit in whatever i can. also, most people don't understand Christianese...even Christ-followers. i had a tough time explaining the word "saved" to him because we use it so much in church that it's become a term that Christians "just know".
so...today was definitely eye-opening. i also realized that i am not an arguer...it's not my specialty!! but my prayer was that God spoke through me and that because they were HIS words and not mine, that they would stick in their heads.
