Last week at Youth for Christ one of the men said to me “Sir, I want to follow Jesus, I want to give my life to Him, but I don’t know how.”

Wow.

That is why I do this. For that question. For that attitude.

If the Mike of 15 years ago would of been asked that I would of said “say this prayer and BOOM you will be a changed man.”

But, I’m not convinced saying that prayer is all it takes.

I think following Jesus is a lifestyle, an attitude, a commitment, a 180 degree turn from sin.

The answer I gave to this man that night was different. I gave him some versus to look up. I encouraged him to talk to God in his cell that night. To ask Him for wisdom, for guidance. Read the Bible, and write down any questions that may come up. And we’ll work through those together. And last of all if you want to give your life to Christ, well, give your life to Christ.

I’m interested to see what God does with this man. I think he’s ready. I think the Holy Spirit is ready to move into this man’s heart.

I’m praying for this man.

And I ask for you too.
