A friend once told me, "You Christians have such a beautiful fairy tale going with this Biblical thing...you picture what you want to see...I wish I could believe in it...but I don't." I told him I KNOW it's true. It's not free. You have to work for it. But Jesus paid the final cost and all you have to do is accept His sacrifice and Atonement.
He dismissed it. Then one day, he found himself with terminal cancer. Again, he said he wished he could believe. I answered, "When you wake up dead, stop by and fix my furnace." The oddest thing (to most people--) was the day after he died, my furnace started up without the rumbling sound that made me shut it completely off before--and it ran until I moved from that house.
He found your little Church...and Jesus.
