I know this is hard for some of you to believe, but I can be a bit stubborn at times.
When I was in college, I was devout in my religion. I had risen to the level of being an invited youth conference speaker by the age of 18, etc... One day, I came across a campus group called "Maranatha" on the brickyard of NC State (go Wolfpack!) University...
Long story short: I was a thorn in their side. I participated in public and private debates with them defending my religion... I put up a fight when two students came by my dorm room to share the gospel with me... I joined a hall Bible study and purposely quoted from certain books that were in my Bible... they never relented... the gospel was continually placed before me...
I did not get saved for another seven years... the seeds planted by those faithful servants continued in my heart and eventually forced me to investigate the claims of the Bible... while teaching a high school level Religious Education course in my religion, I was converted to Christ...
The seed planted had come to fruition... some day I will meet those faithful students in glory and thank them... Keep on keeping on! If this dyed-in-the-wool religionist, apologist and teacher can be felled by the faithful preaching of God's word, anybody can be saved!
Keep PLANTING THE SEED!
