Time to Revisit Individual Conservative/Evangelical Christianity?
Here's a discussion through instant messaging between two colleagues discussing what one should do about a loud and disrespectful tenant. The first thought was buy him pizza but the response from Ro was he's belligerent and aggressive. The solution? Convert him, old school style. This is how: (Warning, post laced with sarcasm).
D says:
give him the 4 spiritual laws
Ro says:
cause that would work.
D says:
Law 1: God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life....
Ro says:
yes. keep going
Ro says:
this is just so exciting....
D says:
Law 2: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore he cannot know and expereince God's love and plan for his life...
D says:
Law 3: jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life....
D says:
and MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL....
D says:
Law 4: we must individually receive Jesus CVhrist as Savious and Lord; through him we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
D says:
Would you like to pray to receive Jesus into your heart right now???
D says:
would you???would You????
Ro says:
just repeat after me these words
Ro says:
and now congratulations ur a christian!
Ro says:
see u at church
D says:
YES
D says:
YES
D says:
Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life.
Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this
prayer right now, and Christ
D says:
will come into your life, as He promised.
HEAVEN HERE I COME...
R says:
just be sure to come to church -- so we can mold you into a good christian, have a potluck or two, spit you out the backdoor.
So ends that fantastic critique of the state of old school evangelicalism.
