Nick Vujicic - Life without limbs

Post by Storyteller »

On kindle so can't provide links but I saw this guy a while back on TV talking to a bunch of teenage schoolgirls, it moved me to tears. Discovered more vids on youtube, going through them.
Watched his testimony, stunned.

His plan is to, along with his church (which I am going to look into), reach every livingsoul and preach the gospel, driven and guided by the HS.

Anyone heard of him?
Thoughts?

I've seen him before. Amazing testimony.

Any Christian who goes on the Oprah show raises alarms bells for me.

Not because you cant be a Christian and go on it, but simply because she has to want you to be
on it ;)

I totally agree he's absolutely inspirational but I havent seen enough yet to
say all that he does inspire besides stuff you could get from the secular world
There are alot of inspirational non Christians too.

Though I have watched his testimony, seen him on tv and flipped through his books...
But something doesnt sit right with me.

I guess I wonder at his popularity and if some of that is partly due to bringing in a compromised message. The world is not generally suppose to like what we have to say re: Jesus, salvation and sin

Though maybe I'm just too cynical. So I will sit on the fence with him until I have a reason to get off.

That's so mean! He can't sit on any fences!

I once knew a guy with no arms and no legs, who sat at my front door. His name was Matt.

Though considering everything else he can do, he'd probably be sitting on the fence laughing while I topple over backwards :shakehead:

I got to hug the guy. ;) He offers hugs to all normally after he gives a talk.
