Sometimes we wonder! We see prison chapels full of men or women. Many have ruined lives - their own and that of others. Violent offenders, murderers, rapists, drug barons, burglars, child abusers, thieves and arsonists.
Sometimes over 100 at a time. Sometimes a handful. Why do they come? Why attend Sunday services? Why come to long Christian mid-week meetings?
Strikingly, nearly all listen eagerly to the gospel being preached, or a Bible text explained, or a testimony shared, or answers to a 'no holds barred' public question time. Why do they listen so intently, often resulting in unsolicited spontaneous applause?
