[Joe 6-pack]

That's why you use words when necessary. I'm surprised you're being so adversarial on this when your post responding to another FReeper is exactly what the quote means. Nowhere in the gospel does it command you to go have a beer with your neighbor, but by your own description it was that action, and your demeanor to the neighbor that over time facilitated your neighbor's willingness to listen.

Sometimes it's better, and more effective to simply attract rather than to actively promote.

[Gamecock]

....When necessary, use words." (Emphasis mine)

My point is, words are ALWAYS necessary.

[Paved Paradise]

Amen, Joe. Meanwhile, I think another poster on here said it well regarding being sensitive to each situation. I’ve shared my faith with many people but in today’s climate, that is getting much harder to do.
