Being honest.

“If I’m not pointing people to Jesus then I’m wasting my life.”

—	Aaron Gillespie

I've been doing some self examining lately, and I've found some really upsetting things. It is no news that I moved to Virginia to attend a Liberty University this January. Well like everyone else here I've been taking some bible classes and I get so much work in these classes it isn't even funny. Sadly with all of the homework I get in these classes I've noticed that when I am out of these classes I don't want to talk about the bible, Jesus or God because I just want to get away from my homework.

Now I am not saying that I need to be throwing bible verses around at all times but being honest here being a Christian became a bit of a burden to me and that is never okay. I've allowed school to take away my joy of spreading the gospel from me and I don't want that. The whole point of all this homework is so I can learn to apply the bible to my life. I moved to Virginia to learn more about God and about who I am in him so I can give all of me to his's kingdom. It is such an honor to be a child of God, it is a blessing to spread the news of a savior to the outside world and even more so in America where I am not being killed or tortured because of my beliefs! I have become such a spoiled American Christian and I am the person that I cannot stand. 

"If I'm not pointing people to Jesus then I'm wasting my life." I don't think Aaron Gillespie could have said it any better. The reason for my life is to continue spreading the news of a savior to the world and I need to remember that. In the same interview Aaron says 

"Google says this: 40% of Americans will die of cancer. But The Bible says that the wages of sin is death and that’s a cancer that 100% of all humanity will die of. And our goal and our job and our cause is to cure people of that cancer that is sin and when we forget to do that it’s literally like a man hiding in his house that had the cure for cancer for twenty years and is hiding it. It’s a criminal action and it would be super, super, super, huge immediate swarm if someone had the cure for cancer and didn’t tell. Can you imagine what it would be like? This guy would be ostracized it would be insane. We have the cure for something that is way more deadly and how often is it that we hide the cure?"

Now if that didn't hit you like a sack of bricks, I have no idea what will. I urge you to read this interview, it has really encouraged me and I hope it will do the same for you.
