One of my greatest challenges I’ve faced recently has nothing to do with failure, but success. It has always been part of our The Bridge’s vision to reach people that don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our Red Line stops are set up to do just that. The amazing thing is that it’s happening! Not only is it happening, but people are coming back! Like many of us, I have been programmed to try to “win” people to the Lord. I’ve been taught that you have to do something to make people believe. In some way, we feel like we have to be in control of the spiritual journey. We can’t. In actuality, it is the Spirit of God that draws men to Himself. We just get the opportunity to be a part of what he’s doing. My heart breaks as I look into the eyes of Red Liners that are in need of a Savior. There’s part of you that wish you can save them, but you can’t. This generation want to seek God on their own terms and time table. Yet, that’s the key; that they seek Him. Scriptures says, those who seek Him will find Him. By the way, the Red Line has nothing to do with the Spiderman red suit I’m talking about tomorrow
