Evangelising to Jehovah's Witnesses...

Four months into being a Christian and I'm evangelising already!

I knew they were bad news but I'd never met one until last week. A lady and her 5ish-year-old grandson were door-knocking trying to find a vulnerable person to spout out nonsense to. Then she came across me... a not so vulnerable person.

Before she got a word in edge ways I managed to tell her how I became a Christian and how I'm living my life differently now. And then she got the verses out and started warping the views of the Church. Just as she was about to go I challenged her to tell me what they thought about the Da Vinci Code. To most Christians it undermines the Bible because it passes Jesus off as a mere man who had all the desires a human has i.e. not The Son of God. She condemned Dan Brown's writing but then said: "But Jesus was a man. He isn't God." They don't believe in The Trinity, which kinda defeats the point of Christianity!

That was over a week ago. She left me a book to read and said she'd be back this week. Well I haven't read it but I wrote a Bible study of my own for her to read backing up Jesus' divinity (look them up... Colossians 1:15-20; John 1:1-19 John 10:24-30). The thing is I think I've scared her off with the little bit of evangelism I did manage to do while she was on my doorstep! I showed my work to some experienced Christians and they were really impressed. Maybe I should change my career or just use the same skills with a slight change in direction? Just an idea!

And by the way I didn't get the job in Bath, but that's ok!

All is well...

I've completely forgotten about my blog over the past month, but then again nothing much worth reporting has happen in my life!

I've got an interview in Bath on Thursday. It's the first one I've been offered in over a month so hopefully it's going to be fruitful. It's really exciting because I prayed about a job like this one coming up, so now it has, I've got to make sure I don't get too carried away. It may seem like every newspaper reporting job is the same but it isn't. The Bath Chronicle seems different. I haven't got the job yet though, so it still might not be the place for me.

I'll be back at the end of the week to say how it went.
