Aggressive Christianity

Bought a book at roots called Aggresive Chrisianity by Catherine Booth. Flicked through the pages at roots and my eyes landed on this..

'I CAN ALREADY HEAR SOME PEOPLE WHINING AND SAYING, BUT YOU MUST BE CAREFUL, WE DON'T WANT TO PUSH THEM AWAY. YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR RELIGION ON YOUR SLEEVE, OR THRUST IT DOWN SOMEONE'S THROAT. WELL I SAY IF YOU DON'T THRUST IT DOWN, HOW WILL YOU EVER GET IT DOWN?'

Isn't that ace, I think it is, I read it and shown it to Christine dead excited by it. Its so true as well, we can creep round people being all nice and just telling them lovely stuff about Jesus or we can tell them as it it....its Heaven or hell...Jesus or hairylegs...your choice folks, obviously I know its not quite as simple as that cos you do have to get to know people first, can't just march up to people shouting stuff although I have seen people do that. I remember as a kid seeing this guy outside the rugby ground with a big board round his neck that said something like ' the end is nigh, and something about hell, can't remember exactly what but it used to scare me. I'm sure that some people would have been saved as a result of that because Gods word is never wasted..that man had a lot of courage.

I'm talking at church this morning about the the word of God and our hope in Gods word, spent all week writing and praying and crossing things out and starting again and getting myself stressed and then more crossing out, its been good though cos in the process I somehow managed to go off track and ended up with stuff that wasn't right for todays meeting but am going to save it and will use that for another meeting hahaha..thankyou Jesus yay.

In a bit!!
