Left Behind-The Kids Darkening Skies Chs 5&6 Janie’s New Religion, Mr. Stein’s Story

Mark has rescued Melinda from the GC police. They fled them on the motorcycle that they later had to drown. They are in hiding, but somehow Janie has escaped from a reeducation center and found them. In Jerusalem, Judd and Lionel are also in hiding. They are at a safehouse and Judd mistakingly thinks that Rayford Steele has been killed. Meanwhile, Vicki, Conrad, Darrion, Shelley, and Charlie, are in the schoolhouse that Z prepared for them. Conrad is in the tower above the schoolhouse watching out for any sign of the GC police.

CONRAD sat in the tower, watching for any sign of the Global Community. He used a flashlight to read a printout of Tsion Ben-Judah’s latest teaching. The teaching was so interesting, he had to be careful not to get too absorbed. Late that night he took a break and closed his eyes for a moment. He ran his hand along the floor and felt a weird bump. A piece of wood stuck up about an inch. He placed his hand on the other side of the plank and pushed. The board gave an inch or two, and Conrad was able to get his fingers underneath. As he pulled, other boards lifted. Conrad put his flashlight near the hole. Some sort of box fit perfectly inside. Conrad tried to lift the board, but it wouldn’t budge. The box was decorated with fancy etchings. He shifted his weight to try again, but just then something moved in the woods. Phoenix growled below. Conrad peered into the darkness and took out his pistol. He quickly ran downstairs and woke Vicki. Vicki let Phoenix loose, and the dog headed for the road, then quickly darted into the woods, barking. Conrad listened closely. The barking stopped. Footsteps. Had something or someone killed Phoenix? Conrad cocked his pistol and waited. Three figures moved out of the woods. Conrad lifted the gun and pointed it as he clicked on the flashlight.

“Don’t shoot!” Mark said, squinting into the light.

13 Inviting people to Heaven

I talked with a terribly confused man recently who spends most of his nights in a bar. I asked him if he knew Jesus Christ. He laughed and said “Yeah, I mention Him often. He’s one of my favorite swearwords.”

The man went on to tell me that he didn’t need to receive Jesus Christ as his Savior because he didn’t want to go to Heaven. He said he wanted to go to hell so he could be with all his drinking buddies there. His picture of hell was an eternal party with booze and one night stands with “hot” women. I asked him where he got that idea. He said he grew up believing it and all his drinking buddies believed it too. None of them wanted to die, but in their extremely human imagination they did want to go to their own conjured up pipedream of hell.

When I told him that the Bible describes a very different kind of hell, he said “I don’t believe the Bible. Man wrote it.” I asked him if he’d look up Josh McDowell or Ravi Zacharias on the Internet and just listen to them for awhile. He said he couldn’t be bothered with that. The conversation went a little longer, but I knew that at best I had planted a seed that could still bloom later in his life. What I was doing is called “witnessing for Christ.” Reliable statistics show that it generally takes seven times for various Christians to witness to someone before they wake up and realize they sincerely need to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.
