Universal Truth in a Diverse Culture

Do you have any friends who believe something different from you? I'm not talking about the ones who don't seem to believe anything, but the ones who are very faithful to something besides Christianity. Who do you find it harder to talk about faith with? The friend with no beliefs or the friend who is devoutly something else?

 

C.S. Lewis (author of The Chronicles of Narnia) declared that if Christian claims about Jesus are true, "they are of supreme importance to everyone." And, in fact, the risen Jesus commissioned his followers to spread the good news about him to everyone. But it seems talking about faith with other religions only leads to conflict.

 

On Wednesday with the high schoolers, we'll take the opportunity to discuss how to proclaim the central truth of Christianity,while attempting to relate to our neighbors of other faiths in a way that both promotes peace and witnesses to Jesus.

 

Have you ever tried to share your faith with someone from another religion? Share your experiences at the new Point Message Board: http://harvestpointonline.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=3#3 . You'll have to register for a user name, but once you're registered, you'll have a place to discuss what's going on at The Point, share music, movie and book recommendations, talk about life as a Christian, etc.

 

God Bless.
