A recent survey published in the Sydney Morning Herald reported that 68% of all Australians believe in God.  Yet this “belief” is more about our life values than devotion.  It’s belief without belonging.

You don’t get people to believe by talking about faith.  In a similar way, if you want your child to make friends with the child down the street, you can talk about friendship till you are blue in the face and it gets nowhere.  What you can do is arrange a meeting where friendship may occur.

  • The way to develop belief and build faith is to introduce people to Jesus.
  • It is only when people get to know Jesus as Saviour and Lord will their ideas about God become life changing truth.
  • Our goal must be to arrange lots of meetings where people get to hear about Jesus and see Him in action in the lives of Christians.
