Mall

Thanks for all the replies, everyone, I appreciate the conversation so far. I am interested in hearing more of stories of people on this forum.

Hmm... speaking of life stories. It reminds me of this verse.

Romans 14:8 “For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.”

I think, no matter what your life is, the Lord can use it in a way that serves His will. Just within this week, I met with a person I knew a long time ago who attends a Mennonite church while shopping at the mall with my family. It was just after we had gotten our doctor appointment and had gotten our blood checked.

The last time I met him, even though I was Christian, was when I hadn't discovered Universalism before. So, it's been many years, a long time for sure.

As for me personally, I'm not so denomination specific anymore. It's hard to tell if someone in a specific denomination believes in the salvation of everyone or not, so I try not to judge someone immediately on what they label themselves as. The most important things are if they a) believe in Jesus through faith alone to be saved and b) if they believe everyone will be saved.

Now the conversation of religion did not appear when I talked to them. It was mostly a quick "Hey, I remember you", while we passed by, so not much time for any sort of conversation. I was tempted to sneak in a little "by the way did you know everyone goes to heaven?", but as I mentioned before, we really just walked by each other. In reality, I don't even know if they believe in Universal Salvation or not. But I believe that, even meetings like that, no matter how small, can still be used as a benefit to the Lord.
