I like nice talks but I like walks better.

So this guy talks at chapel yesterday and starts off with "What would you do if a guy comes into the chapel and starts shooting everyone?" He asks a few people what they would do and then goes on to talk about how our faith in Christ should prompt us into action and take the guy out regardless of what happens to ourselves. He did not really explain this part but I assume his reasoning is that there is an apparent evil right in front of us and it is our job as Christians to put and end to it. He then makes his way into the one thing you cannot do in heaven. Witness to lost people.

The speaker, Mark Cahill, also had a night chapel later after he had spoken to us that morning. This time he was a little more informative and instructional about witnessing. He talked about how when we witness three things happen. Either people accept the truth, the seed is planted, or they just flat out reject it. He goes on to talk of how each situation is a winning situation. So the only losing situation is the one where we don't witness. He really got me to thinking and as it turns out it got a lot of other people on my floor to thinking also. We have devotions Wednesday nights and this was no different. We talked about James and about how he says our faith should be accompanied by works. So we talked about it for awhile and we decided we needed works with our faith and that was that. But wait all we did was talk. I had seen this before so I quickly interjected and said it was a nice talk but why don't we do something. Aha, brilliant, yes I know. So everyone agreed and we set a date to go out into the community and do some service projects or just hang out with people and build relationships with them. Of course we still have not done anything yet but soon that will change since we have planned for it and hopefully in a week or two I will tell you about what we did.
