Coincidence? Really? Ed, age 32 came to Gateway Irvington in late August. While his girlfriend (age 21) was being
counseled we spoke with Ed about faith in Christ. He reminded us that he had been to Gateway a few years ago with another girl
(who was Hindu). We had spoken with him about the Lord. We checked the paperwork on that visit and continued the
conversation about Christ. Ed reiterated that he was open to all religions. We quoted John 14:6 and asked if he thought Jesus was
a liar, or misguided (a lunatic) or Lord of all? He stated he didnt think Jesus was lying. We shared a word of testimony and asked
him what were the chances that hed show up twice at the same pregnancy center with two different girls and hear the same
message about salvation. We told Ed that we believed God was speaking to him and gave him gospel literature before he left. Pray
that Ed considers the claims of Christ. A

bit of theology: The word coincidence is used only once in the New Testament, and it was
by Jesus Himself in the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Luke 10:31, Jesus said, And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that
way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side. The word coincidence is translated from the Greek word synkyrian, which is a
combination of two words: sun and kurios. Sun means together with, and kurious means supreme in authority. So a biblical definition of
coincidence would be what occurs together by Gods providential arrangement of circumstances.

Praise and Prayer

And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we
have the requests that we have asked of him. I John 5:15
