Reaching Out

Meditation for this week:

The beginning of the gospel is our sin, our brokenness, and our disobedience from God. Without this foundation, there is no gospel. I want to be more effective at having conversations with people about this: the beginning of the gospel. I don't have trouble talking about the gospel once the conversation has started, but often have a hard time introducing the gospel because people are so sinfully short-sighted. How do we introduce a gospel that begins with a unseen problem of spiritual death when sports, events, and television are the main thoughts among people? I am praying that God shows me how to relate the physical problems that everyone knows about to the spiritual death that is a reality in non-believers lives in a way that I can bring it up naturally in conversation in the next couple of months. I'm excited!
