I just stood there in front of the college, kept my mouth shut, and basically let a non-Christian philosophy professor convince two guys of their need for the truth.

Cedrick and Francis, two young students, were convinced that universal truth cannot be known. I challenged this presupposition, they weren't convinced... until he walked by.

"Hey prof!" they called out. "You're a philosophy professor, so what do you think, does some sort of universal truth exist?"

"Absolutely!" he confidently responded. "This becomes clear as we regard morality. It doesn't matter what society you are in; incest is wrong, murder is wrong, the abuse of children is wrong. Granted, there are societies that do not believe that these are wrong, but it is clear that human beings have certain inherent rights that supercede the particular beliefs of any one society. These are all universal truths." He continued for a bit, completely demolishing any arguments Cedric and Francis might have had.

Though still not ready to accept the gospel, it was the second Jesus-centered discussion I've had with Cedrick. I'll be back next week to meet with him, Francis, Milène, Jonathan, and Jonathan.
