Will the Real Christians Stand Up

               “Yes, several gave their lives  to Christ, and several re-
         dedicated their lives back to Christ. “
               “That’s a blessing.”
               “Tell me about it. Whenever God uses me to draw lost

         souls to him, I feel as if I’m fulfilling my purpose for Jesus while
         on this earth,” Israel said.
               “I had a rather unusual experience with my science pro-
         fessor that I wasn’t expecting. He was tempted to brainwash
         the entire class concerning the earth and the human race,

         promoting that everything was created as a result of evolu-
         tion. That was until I stood up and gave my opinion and testi-
         monial experience about Christ. He told us to take a five-min-
         ute recess.”
               They laughed.
               “Two pink lemonades and order of mozzarella sticks and

         stuffed mushrooms, the waiter said, politely interrupting. “Are
         you ready to place your orders?”
               Anxious to get back to their conversation, Israel and Adri-
         ana took one last glance at the menu. “I’ll have your seafood

         scampi,” said Adriana.
               Looking up at the waiter, Israel said, “I’ll have your sea-
         food alfredo.”
               Repeating their orders, the waiter left the couple alone
         to continue their conversation.
               “I was approached by a group of homosexuals, perse-

         cuting me, telling me that I had no right telling people about
         Jesus, Israel said. “I asked, would it be all right if I had a word
         of prayer with them and talked to them about Jesus.
               They became furious and walked away quickly.”
               They both laughed. “Now every time I see them, they

         walk in the other direction. All of my teachers are pretty de-
         cent, and I can’t get enough of Coach Mike Norell. He’s the
         best.
