Surprised by the voice of God

Read right through this to the end: "The morning I heard the voice of God." It's well worth it, and rather challenging.

And this evening a student said to me, "Apart from becoming a Christian, joining CU was the best decision I've ever made." Which rather encouraged me. Likewise a student from a country which is very culturally Christian, who'd become a Christian earlier but not really known what it meant to live it distinctively - now shocked that she's going onto CU committee, says CU has made all the difference. Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of encouragement. Another student is coming perilously close to being sacked from his student job because he refuses to hard-sell the store credit card with a deceitful speil which barely mentions that it's a credit card, since the accumulation of credit cards are usually very damaging and as a Christian he won't do that to others. Distinctiveness. The gospel at work. Encouraging.

distinctiveness...the stuff that our lower sixth group at lunch times are starting to realise they need too! Only we're a few steps behind...the hows and reality of it is still to fully hit in.
Encouraging stuff :)
