>>>Insert Clever Title Here<<<

Nothing like a good ol' church conference to get the evangelical blood flowing. When I was 15, our church hosted our denomination's annual youth conference, and boy oh boy, did we ever confer... with the opposite sex. But when we weren't teasing and wondering if that girl may be interested in a short-term dating relationship, we did do some constructive activities. One of these was to conduct a "God Survey" of people in downtown Saskatoon. We were all nervous at first, but after trying on perfume at the Body Shop at Midtown Plaza (hey, you have to do strange things to impress conference girls from Oregon), we talked to several people on the streets. I remember being shocked by the answers that many businessmen and shoppers gave. Shocked, that is, at how few of them denied God's existence.

When you grow up in an Evangelical youth group, you're kinda bombarded with the teaching that most of the world is filled with evolutionist athiests. But to the contrary, in most of the conversations I've had with unchurched folk, I've been surprised at how many believe God exists. And in the more in-depth conversations, (with both churched and non-churched people) I'm surprised at this recurring thought: "Yeah, as long as you're a good person, [no matter what you believe] you'll end up going to heaven."

And so, my question is twofold:
What should you say to a camper who tells you this?
What Scripture teaches that this is belief is true or false?
Oh, and you can't use John 14:6. That one's too easy.

Gone, but not forgotten

Hey everyone,

I gotta apologize for the lack of posts the last week here. We're busy with rental groups and moving out to camp, but now that we're getting organized, we're going to make more regular posts starting now. So check back often because we're baaaaaack!
