Student Rises UP!

Brother Jed, 

 

I first heard you at Winona State University, located in Winona, Minnesota. I think that this was back in the fall of 1983. I only watched from a distance. The school newspaper reported that the campus security had to request you to 'quiet down' because you were disturbing classes. They had you move over by the tennis courts.

 

A couple of years later, in about 1985, I talked to both you and Sister Cindy at the University of Minnesota, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sister Cindy had a child with her in the stroller. I didn't like being told that I was going to hell, but sometimes the truth does hurt. I bought your book 'Who Will Rise Up?'. You autographed the book for me as I talked to you. Actually, I believe that America could really use your message as a 'wake up' call. Spiritually, our nation has slid downhill since I first me you and your wife.

 

I should mention that my Christian friends thought that you were some sort of clown. And non-Christians in my classes were upset that you were calling their 'fun times' -- fornication, homosexuality, drunken sprees, etc. -- SIN. Well, the Bible commands us to 'speak the truth in love', which you were doing! I'm glad that God protected me and kept me from ever becoming involved in that SIN. Still, God sent you to help Christians, like myself, 'wake up' and see that there is more than just a religious church on Sundays.

 

May God bless you, Sister Cindy, and your family. Thanks for help me 'Rise Up'.

 

 

Respect for Bro. Jed

September 18, 1998 

Dear Brother Jed, 

I was out there with the crowd for a good while (3+ hrs), and I was one of the ones remaining when we ended. I just want to say that while I can't agree with your message, I commend you for what you're doing. To come out and preach to the college crowd, that's brave.

You are helping to make college what it really should be: an open discussion/forum of ideas, where beliefs and opinions are traded civilly (for the most part), and people are exposed to a diverse range of ideas, and sometimes drawn to question their own. Please do come back again; I'll be there. By the way, you should know that even most of the people who argued with you the most don't think you're a "bad guy." 

In a different take on an age-old saying, they don't like the message, but they respect the messenger. Anyways, I wish you safe travels, and though I won't wish you success for spreading your message, I will wish you success on stimulating more thought-provoking intellectual debate and discussion. 

Cheers, 

Kevin
