Saturday, July 2

We are declaring the good news to you, for you to turn from these vain things to the living God.—Acts 14:15.

 

The apostle Paul discerned the interests of his audience, and then he adapted his presentation. For example, the crowd he spoke to in Lystra had little or no knowledge of the Scriptures. So Paul used arguments that they could relate to. He spoke of fruitful harvests and the ability to enjoy life. He used words and examples that his listeners could readily understand. Use insight to discern the interests of people in your territory and adapt your presentation. How can you find out what a person is interested in as you approach him or his home? Be observant. Perhaps he is gardening, reading a book, repairing a vehicle, or engaging in some other activity. If appropriate, why not use what he is doing to engage him in conversation? (John 4:7) Even a person’s clothing may say something about him—perhaps it indicates his nationality, occupation, or favorite sports team. w20.04 11 ¶11-12

 

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

"Oh, I see you are an Oakland A's fan, you must do a lot of praying. Do you think God hears your prayers?"
