Interview with 3 Lost People- #3

These interviews really have me puzzled. The majority of the people interviewed in all three videos come from a catholic background, yet most of them have turned on their faith. The first man interviewed in this video believes in Christianity yet also reincarnation. The second girl had parents that were divorced when she was very young. Her mother raised her and her sister while her father was Jewish yet never went to the Temple. Her mother was an alcoholic yet took them to church while her actions never changed. This confused her and to this day she does not understand why Christians believe the way they do. The last lady interviewed was older. She was a recovering alcoholic that had a spiritual encounter. She went through the AA program yet was still struggling with her addiction. She went to go for another drink and heard a voice say ‘you will not have to drink anymore.’ She thought she was losing her mind! When asked if they believe they are lost, they all responded no. They try to be good people and live rewarding lives. Yet the second girl remains confused. Maybe it’s from the demonstration that her mother set before her; going to church and being a “Christian” yet having a lifestyle that says differently. No wonder she’s confused. The first man interviewed works with a Christian that has a horrible lifestyle. No one wants to be around him and says that the “Jesus fish” on his real-estate card he hands out stinks! What kind of examples are we setting? The older lady at the end challenges us to see people with addictions as people who have spiritual unease. They need a connection with a higher power to completely recover from their addiction. We need to start seeing people through the eyes of Jesus.
