A Prayer for Contagious Faith
By Kristine Brown "Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1 NLT I stood before a room full of high school biology students. I attempted to appear calm and confident, but I was a twisted-up ball of nerves inside. Still a college student myself, these kids were only a few years younger than me. I signed up to substitute teach to earn a few extra dollars and gain some on-the-job experience, and this was my first day. But as I looked at the topic of the day's lesson, I second-guessed whether I should be there. Evolution. I knew right away such a hot topic could spark all kinds of debate— something I wanted to avoid today of all days. So, I took a deep breath and read the teacher's directions aloud. Just as I suspected, one gutsy young lady stood and asked the big question, "Miss, are you a Christian?" "Yes," I responded, hoping the answer would satisfy her curiosity. I should've known better. Her next question sent my insides into full-blown panic. |
