Think Wink.

One of the things I love most about my church is that there is a real heart for missions and evangelism and making disciples (cf. Matthew 28:18-20). Here is the encounter of one man, Jason, and one of the guys I’m doing the “Illuminati” study group with, Bob, that I mentioned in the previous post.

What strikes me most about this post that I am linking to is the encounter with Donna. Hear what she told Jason and Bobby when they began to tell her about Jesus,

Bobby and I weren’t prepared for the conversation that we had next. She said yes she knows who Jesus is, and she said that she believes in Jesus. I have counseled and spoken to dozens of addicts who say Jesus and then they love the world. This woman was different. I don’t have the conversation verbatim, however one of the first things she said is that, “God chooses people and he hasn’t chosen me.” She said she married a Christian man at the age of 33 and lived as a believer for 5 years, and gave her whole heart to God, but God would never free her from her addictions. She had heard countless stories and seen them of how people came into churches and were saved and then freed from their addiction but she’s cried and pleaded to God to free her, and she said all the immoral things I do, I’ve asked him to take it from me and he just won’t. If you could see the pain and agony in her tears, the worn face, and the tired and probably high countenance.

One of the things in the study group that I just started is what would we say to someone who says that. What would you say? I’m not sure. How about you? Here is the entire post:
