Today in front of the student center of my college, a few friends and I watched as what I could only describe as evangelical christians tried to talk to random passers-by.

I am a supporter of getting the faith spread on college campus, in a big way.

I just feel these guys got it wrong.

I've heard more than once that I am wrong, in others' opinions, but here it goes:

I think these fellows were a bit argumentative about the faith. If a person is a cynic of the Christian faith, or doesn't believe, arguing with them isn't going to convince them. You have NO chance of saving them. God does the saving. I feel that showing them the love of Christ and SHOWING them the word of God is a better approach then holding up a sign proclaiming things and arguing with students.

I also heard a lecture from my profesor today about the holy trinity.

This actually got to me quite a bit.

To me, the trinity has always been one of those things that is described to us, but not really meant to be understood by us. Our human minds can never TRULY understand how God can be three persons and seperate, but the same God.

What happened here is that my professor tried to completely explain the trinity in a logical way, with biblical support.

I just, in my heart, feel that thinking through the Father, Son, and Spirit is not doing them the justice they deserve, and that faith in that they exist and exist the way they MUST, as was told to us, is all we need to know. I think the topic of Christian Theology, as it is today, is claiming to try to understand the nature of God, but is almost a game of theologians trying to outsmart and outperplex other theologians.

I also noticed that I've been expecting alot of God lately. By this I don't mean that I expect TOO MUCH of Him, just that I expect the wrong things. It was getting to the point where I was almost trying to rely on God as my divine fortune teller, and less as my creator.

I'm glad that He showed me in time for me to realize where my error was. He's so much more than that.

I have also been so busy in the present, that I have really not even taken time to notice how amazing God is shaping up the future for me lately. With music, my ministry, and new school, I feel like He has something big planned pretty soon.

How did we ever come to weigh in so heavily in logic? Have not the most incredible things that ever occured in our existance often defied the very logic that we now define our universe by?
