Recently I made contact with an old friend who I had not talked to in many many years. (That seems to be happening more and more these days as reunions become more frequent and personal events more public.)
What has really struck me about this conversation was this individual's hunger for more knowledge about personal faith. Though extremely intelligent, a PhD with very high credentials in biomedical research, they had literally fallen into the common trap of not pressing through their intellectual arguments that shut down faith and they were simply coping with life.
My simple reference to my walk with Christ and what God has allowed me to be part of in seeing this great church come up from the ground evoked a response of something more than just interest, but emotion about their desire to know more about who Jesus really is.
As we come to these next few weeks and particularly the Lee Strobel event (check this out on our website at http://www.northway.org) I plead with you to not think that anybody, regardless of their achievements or education or economic success, is beyond wanting to hear the voice of God!
Blessings in Jesus,
Dr. Jay
