Today is my last posting until Oct. 29. I will be traveling to Texas where I will be speaking for the next week. I always enjoy sharing the wonderful truth about the Lord to others. What about you? Why do so many seem to have difficulty in sharing the Lord with others? That co-worker who is struggling or maybe your neighbor. It might even be your spouse or kin. It seems we are afraid to say something about Jesus to direct their mind and heart upward.
Here's a thought...I have found over the many years people are never offended if you simply ask them if they are religious. There are several forms to ask this question but people will always give you an answer and it is what opens the door to speaking with them about their souls while expressing the truth. We are so afraid that we will turn them away but it is really the opposite. When you ask someone about their belief or relationship with the Lord, you ask them something no one else on this earth asks about: their soul! There is this deep part of a person, hidden away that rarely gets touched by humans. When you probe it, inquire about it, it hits home. It opens the doors the heart. They might say a brief statement and let it be but they know you asked and will never be offended that you did.
Next time you speak with someone who is struggling or needing a hand, ask them if they are religious? You will be surprised at the doors it opens and the respect you will receive. But more important, the Lord may have been working on their heart and given you the opportunity to steer them into the truth about a Savior they desperately need.

Thank you Brent. That's a great question to ask. We should pray for opportunities to share, the wisdom to recognize those opportunities and the courage to engage them in a conversation that could lead them to the light. And may God many opportunities in Texas!
