I bring that up on liberal sites from time to time. They think I’m sick and twisted that I need to believe in God in order to not be a raving lunatic. They intentionally miss the point.

I’m getting to where I no longer believe we should work really hard to convince a person to come to Christ. Many are called but few are chosen. If someone is chosen, no amount of convincing is necessary. Merely presenting the gospel is all that is required. And then it is up to them.

Jesus admonished us not to throw the pearls of our faith under the feet and snout of the pigs who hate my faith. Sounds right to me.

I share my faith only with those who are hungry for the Word of God. Not many are.

Do you recall that stuff about the Good Shepherd who goes out into the wilderness to find the one lost sheep? The Good Shepherd who would lay down his life for the sheep?

You think that's foolish and futile?

No reason to!

Yeshua told his disciples to just shake the dust off their sandals.
