After spending the night in a pretty luxurious hotel, and beginning the day with breakfast via room service, I felt ready to conquer the day. We had to board yet another flight to reach our final destination of High Point, North Carolina. As I boarded the plane I was eager to see who I would sit next to and hopefully engage in yet another conversation about our great God. I found my seat next to a man most likely in his 40's with his two young sons. This man was very friendly, very accomplished, and interested in some intellectual conversation. He told me he was both physician and an attorney, and after feeling slightly inept to begin any conversation with him, we began to talk about church, God, and our beliefs.
Have you ever talked to a man that you though would be a good pharisee? I mean a person who knows all the right answers and does the right things, but not with a heart of love toward God? (sadly sometimes I see this in myself) This man said all the right things, and claimed to believe in the Bible and Jesus, but did not seem to have a burning desire to know God. He seemed to settle for a life of going through the motions (man, I wonder how many times someone has thought this about me!). We talked the whole plane ride, and I enjoyed talking about topics such as grace, what it really means, and how great it truly is. Pray for Adrian, that He hungers for the word of God, not just to know about God, but to know Him in a deep way personally.
