“Hindus pray ritually," Song had counselled two days earlier. "Buddhists meditate with practiced devotion. Muslims humble themselves to five mandatory prayers a day—minimum. And what about the Christian? A moment before a meal and a thought before rising in the morning?" "We serve the true God." Titus had said, nodding thoughtfully. "Yet we're neglecting Him and taking Him for granted." "We shouldn't only petition Him," Song had continued, "we should remember our Lord yearns to commune with us. We should take time daily, as much time as is necessary, to listen to His petitions for us as well. Your soul is thirsty for Him. A dedicated servant of His cannot serve without receiving from Him. Let Him nourish you. Just rest, Titus. Rest in Him. Nothing else.”

“There's a Buddhist belief," Steve said in response, "called anicca—that nothing in life is permanent. In Christianity, we view this as well. Nothing in this life is eternal—except our souls. We're responsible for what we say and do and believe. One day, you and I will stand before the one and only perfect God and give an account. In death, there's an end to suffering. It's a gift of an eternally good life with the Creator—if a person receives His gift of forgiveness. The guilt, even suppressed, burdens us in this life— God gave His Son, Jesus, to take away our shame. No one was like Jesus, Sakana-san. He was perfect, even when He suffered injustice and died so you would be provided with this gift. This moment, this opportunity, was seen from eternity. Will you repent from your sin and trust in Jesus Christ?”
