I am so encouraged this morning. When we live in faith mode God orders our footsteps and we're able to see and seize divine opportunities. That happened this morning. I've crossed paths with a guy who is an athiest a few times these last few weeks and we just had a hour-long discussion where I laid out the gospel and he was like a sponge soaking it up. Praise God. I've been praying for "radical conversions" and this is one. He is so close. It was amazing to hear in "non-biblical terms" how he feels like God is working in his life. And it was so much fun trying to present the gospel in understandable ways to him. I don't know that anything is more exciting that feeling like God is using you to nudge people closer to faith in Christ. By the way, I think holiness is the key to faith mode. Sin is like a leak that cause faith to drain. When we aren't leaking God fills us with faith. I feel like God has fixed some leaks and I'm filled with faith. Ultimately, either we're leaking or spilling. Either faith is leaking out of us wherever we're sinning or faith is spilling out of us. By the way, joy spills out too. And peace. And laughter. Lord, fix the leaks so we spill.
