Like father like daughter

One Friday evening I went out "fishing" with Richie and Renee who I meet on www.adventuresinchristianity.com and a group from their church. I talked with a young lady who was standing alone. I asked if she was with someone. She said she was with her dad. So I began talking with her about her beliefs. She said she believes that all people go to heaven after they die. I said across the board, everyone, no matter what. She said "thats just what I believe" I explain to her why that is not possible by taking her through the law. While I was still in the courtroom with her, so to speak, her dad walked up. So I started talking to him about the same thing. I asked him what he believes happens after you die. He said word for word what his daughter said. All go to heaven, no matter what "thats just what I believe". It was like I was talking to the same person and having the same conversation over again.
Finally I got to tell him that only those who are forgivien by Jesus will go to heaven everyone else will go to hell. He was like yea Jesus that's what I meant. I explain to him that is not what he said at first. He stared getting upset with me. So I let them go about their business. Of course not with out a million dollar bill.
The moral of the story is what you believe does affect your children. She was just as lost as he was. She had the same twisted beliefs he did. It was the blind father leading his blind daughter. Not a good thing. Be sure of what you believe. If you are squishy in your belief know that your children will be as well. If you have a low view of God chances are so will your children.
Final word of encouragement to all the fisher men and women. When you witness to someone you are not only witnessing to that person you are also witnessing to thier children as well. And possibly their childrens children. So be encouraged get out there and make a difference for Christ. God can use you to change the direction of generations to come.
