You'd probably have heard the rumours, maybe even received the SMS.

Questions that cross my mind as I pondered the whole thing:
1. If someone really decide to becomes a Christian, how would a mob-gathering in front of the church help?

2. What would they do? Beat him? Curse him? And would that make him change his mind?

3. Can force and fear achieve (or maintain) heartfelt conversions (or convictions) to another's faith? In fact, its almost an oxymoron. Faith draws one near, fear drives one away. So how does instilling fear (using terror) increase one's faith?

In a way i'm glad that was not how the Lord Jesus won my heart.
His mission : 1Tim 1:15 "...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners..."

His motivation : John 3:16 "For God so loved the world..."

His invitation : Mat 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

His promise : John 14:1-2 "Let not your heart be troubled...I go to prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, ye may be also"

Jesus wooed me to believe in Him because of His gentleness and humbleness.

Have you listened to Him enough to hear what He really has to say to you?
