It was wild, it was crazy, it was like looking back into time at a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. So many people hurting who where trying to drink away their problems. However there were also people who were looking for truth, and stopped to read the tract. When there is great darkness it can become very easy for a believer’s light to shine very brightly.

I then asked him if he had repented and trusted in Jesus, but immediately he told me that he didn't understand why Jesus was the only way. I was able to explain to him that the Bible speaks of false conversion, in which many receive the Word with joy and gladness, but when tribulation, temptation, and persecution comes that they then fall away.

From there we went toward more of the bar section of downtown and got into a conversation with another guy who considered himself to be spiritual but not religious. So we started talking and asked him a few questions, and even when through a few of the Ten Commandments as well. He had admitted to lying, stealing, and looking with lust. That's when the conversation got strange.
You see he had told us that he didn't lust after women but after men, and that the desires that were within him were completely normal. In fact he even told us that he embraced his flaws which he considered sin. I didn't want to loose this guys so I brought up civil court, and that this excuse would not work on Judgment Day. It is human nature to try, but it doesn’t work with God.
I was able to tell him that it is natural for all of us to desire sin and to be tempted to do things that God says are wrong. From there we talked about absolute truth vs. relative truth, and after asking him if what Hitler did was wrong he agreed that there must be some absolute truth. However, he didn't want to talk much further or take a tract from us. We still thanked him for his time and shook his hand before we left.

2% huh? That's pathetic. I have found that if you ask a person if they are a Christian...they'll tell you the truth and either listen to what I have to say or walk away. Why would a Christian ever walk into Wal-Mart or go out to eat and not share Jesus with the cashier or server? 2% huh? again...Pathetic.
