Who would have expected that on the Australian national ABC news website, on the same headlines page as an article on Gay Rights, would be an article by Michael Jensen of a clear, bold, thoughtful and compassionate response to another article a few days before by a guy telling his story from 'Christianity to Atheism'?
…..A dialogue between two men about the Christian Faith, who God is, what salvation is etc etc, clear and obvious for all to see and read.
We can easily be caused to despair of the Western world's current general attitude to Christianity with all the recent debate on same-sex marriage.
But here was something I have never seen before in 'front page' national media.
It is a reminder that God can get His truth out in ways more amazing that we might imagine. He is still seeking the Lost.
Amidst the chaos of our world, hearts are sincerely searching.
But as Jensen points out, sincerity is not enough.
So I as an Aussie, thank the Lord for the amazing opportunity given to Michael Jensen to bring truth into the discussion and do it so well, in such a pubic sphere.
Read the two articles, be encouraged, and pray for many more Christians to engage with searching hearts. And pray that this little conversation in national media might touch many hearts and help them move beyond sincerity to seek and embrace the truth of the gospel.
