Jesus. The end.

Ok, so, here's the deal. God is way bigger than us, yes? God is way more powerful than us, yes? God is way smarter than us, yes? The best laid plans for how the student leaders at Spring Arbor want the year to go are NOT necessarily the same plans that God has for the campus this year. We have our planned events and our ideas and our structures for how things are going to go, but God might have something else to say about those. We, with all these things, cannot bring people to Christ. We cannot save ANYONE. Jesus does that. The Holy Spirit does that. The Father does that. Pardon my Batman reference, but I dare say God is an Agent of holy chaos. Not craziness, but chaos according to how we think things should go.

We had chapel this morning, and it was intense. Some people didn't think very highly of it. Many did. I am not going to state my straight opinion on whether or not I thought it was "good," or on the speaker, Rick Amato. He presented the Gospel, had an altar call, and praised God a lot. There are already disagreements on his methods, though. I just want to say that when a guy I don't know very well comes to me afterward in my room, tells me about his former addictions to prescription drugs, his six-year addiction to pornography, and the fact that he hasn't even picked up his Bible in nearly a year, and THEN proceeds to tell me that this is the greatest day of his life, that he's had a spiritual renewal like he's never had before, that his burdens have been lifted, and that he wants to read his Bible now and be on fire for CHRIST...I can see that God was working on people today. And you CANNOT POSSIBLY convince me otherwise. Now comes the follow-up: What are we going to do about it?
