not-yet christians...

so tonight, we heard something that probably caused great praise before our Father. as we gathered together for a time of prayer, after breaking bread with each other, one of our visitors volunteered to pray. his opening line:

God, this is the first time that i've ever prayed out loud...

he's not a christian...yet. for whatever reason, God has been working to bring him to this place. he asked where he could go and was invited into our community of faith...and then he prayed out loud for the first time.

even non-believers can go to God and ask. even not-yet christians can offer up worship. God will have His praise one way or the other...even if it's not through the 'saved.'

how awesome is that?

It's amazing to see non-believers take such a leap of faith so to speak, yet believers have such a hard time. If we could only leap like that.

sounds amazing, Tell him that people are praying for him. Hopefully this will encourage him. I've been reading Voice of The Martyrs lately and prayer is so strong! It's encouraged me.
