The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference

By Sean ~ I became a born again Christian when I was in the Air Force in 1986. I didn’t have a big, spiritual conversion experience. I was told to pray for God to reveal himself to me and told he would. So I did. I prayed and said, essentially, “I don’t know if you are real but if you can prove to me somehow in the next 30 days, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life. If you are there and real, amen.” How I got to that point: About two weeks earlier I was given a copy of a book about Armageddon and Revelations called “ There’s a New World Coming ” by a guy named Hal Lindsey . I devoured that book. It was amazing and Hal was quite convincing. So I went to the bookstore in the town near the Air Force base and bought a Bible. I wanted one that didn’t look like a Bible at all. I found a paperback New American Standard Version Bible that fit the bill. From Hal’s book I learned enough to believe that I should read the New Testament first. So I started reading the gospels.
