Most people of college age will "find themselves" during this time in life. I am no exception to this. As such, I would like to share with you all some of the points of what I have learned in this process, from God, through the experiences He has given me. I call them "Mullins Bullets" (nice ring to it, yes?). Please pardon how crude and unformed these points may sound in form, and rather try and focus on their content. I'm trying to go for profundity in as short a space as possible, instead of writing a book and becoming long-winded and losing track of the point. (It is a hard thing to strike a balance for, and right now it feels like I'm going to fail miserably. But I'm gonna try this anyways.) Also, these points are mostly based on observations from the ministry of Jesus' life (or so I would like to think), so they seem to me to be good ways of living one's life.
If you have feedback, it is surely welcome. Comments, encouragement, questions, etc. Especially if you want more explanation (though I would rather we talk in person about that). There is no priority system to these points; it is unorganized.
- The best way to combat fear is not with more fear, but with love.
- Human beings have as much a capacity for love as they do for depravity.
- Do not make religion out of politics, and do not make politics in religion.
- There is always hope in the Lord for those who seek it; hope only in God and the things of God, not in false things.
- Use metaphor sparingly, but use analogy generously.
- The point of evangelism is to keep the conversation going.
- Sharing of faith is also sharing of love. Love is a two-way street. Therefore, sharing of faith must involve a mutual exchange of sharing beliefs.
But since when has the subject of Jesus' love and sharing it ever been ultimately about eloquence of speech?
