Read, but don’t stop listeningA few months ago, we were at Bible college. One of the advantages of this Bible college is an Asian lector who has been a Buddhist for 20 years. At University he became a Christian, served the Lord in different countries and is now teaching at an English Bible college. One of the modules he is teaching is Buddhism….we were eager to learn as much as possible. I will never forget his first lecture. He said that we can learn a lot about Buddism from books, absorb the theory and fill us with every detail. But if you talk with Buddhists never pretend that you know what they believe. The theory, beliefs and practice of this in daily life seem not always to match with each other. Knowledge is very good, but you have to relate to the people if you really want to know how the theory worked out in their lives. Then you will know how to connect to them in telling the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Leave a Reply |
