Sometimes when I talk to my kids about God, I feel (hear) the direct work of the Holy Spirit because what comes out my mouth is clear and true.
Yesterday I was saw a bumper sticker on a car. It was a variant of a Christian fish, but instead the tail was truncated and it had legs. Inside the sticker was the word "Darwin."
I pointed it out to my son and explained that the person was mocking Christianity. He said, "He's mocking us!" I said, "I don't really care if he is mocking us, but he is mocking Christ."
I said, "That person could be a real nice person, a real good person. His sticker shows his religion Darwinism. The theory of evolution is a theory. It is not fact like gravity. It has not been proven. There are holes in it. That's why its called a theory. So, he has beliefs. Just like Christians have beliefs."
I told my son that we cannot judge this person and say he's condemned. I did say that if he continues without Jesus and mocking him, to the end, he'll go to hell. "
I had a personal insight and expressed it again to my son. "You know, I realize when it was when I fell in love with Jesus."
"In a Gospel, I don't remember which one, Jesus was on the cross and beside him were two thieves. One mocked Jesus, and one, just before death accepted him as God. Jesus told the one who accepted him that he will go with him to be with his Father - go to heaven. "
WOW - God so loves us that the worst scoundrel in the world has their whole life to be bad, then at the end if they accept Jesus as their saviour, they're in! I'm not advocating being bad - I'm recognizing God's love.
