So we have been reading “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan, and tonight in discipleship we covered the chapter about death, more or less. It was interesting to hear the views from the students on their “fears” and thoughts about this particular topic. Of course, each one unique, and of course, they all said their parents had views on this topic too. For instance, one rebuttal was, “why wouldn’t you want to go to heaven?” To this they responded, i just don’t feel ready yet. Whether it was because they had family that hadn’t made a commitment to Jesus yet, or because they wanted to experience certain things in life, I thought they all had something good to say.
I find it interesting how many different views there are about the same subject. Whether this particular one, or whether something more frivolous; or perhaps more meaningful. I think its great to have these conversations, if for nothing else, to not get trapped into the same redundant thoughts over and over and over and, did I say, over again…..
