Blue Like Jazz

Just read a facinating chapter in this book by Donald Miller "Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious thoughts on Christian spirituality." The book is very good, and I love the fact that it is so non religious, includes things like drinking beer whiles reading the Bible. Not your typical Christian book. My one critisism so far is the lack of emphasis on the intimate and very near Holy Spirit, and too much thoughts of God as "out there looking down." Anyway, this last chapter that I read has made me think so much. I relate with the author as he talks about his struggle to share his faith. He went to one of the most liberal party colleges in the U.S. and the small group of Christians decided to make a bold move at the biggest party weekends at their school during the times when every one was getting high and drunk. They set up a "confession booth." When people went in, probably as a joke, they would find one of the Christians dressed in monk garb and smoking a pipe. Instead of that person confessing sins as they expected, the Christian would go on to confess his own sins to the unbeliever, apologizing for personally misrepresenting Christ and for all the injustices done in the name of God, etc. Many lives were changed as a result of this act of humilty on the part of the Christians. People went in mocking, and left sober and actually wanting to forgive. I thought, what a powerful testimony. The believers were very nervous about it at the beginning, thinking it might not work etc. But they left feeling relieved, revived and more firm in the faith as they not only were able to appologize for all the pain caused by Christians and individual sins, but they were able to talk about why they were doing that and answer questions about the gospel and why they believe Jesus is who he is.
I long for a moment like that... a breakthrough. That will take what I believe in my heart and turn it into a bold and humble confession and testimony of Jesus. Cuz right now there seems to be some blockage. Open the floodgates Jesus.
