If you want a God conversation, aim for a good conversation

‘DO NOT TRY TO CONVERT ME TO CHRISTIANITY!’ This was my friend’s last message to me – caps-locked! – as we arranged a meet-up the following day.

We’ve known each other for nearly 30 years. For the last 20 of them I’ve been a Christian, something he’s been fine about, as long as I keep it to myself. He is – as you can tell – not open to an evangelistic encounter!

So, what did we talk about the following day? Actually we spoke of the very deepest truths about God, His judgment and His grace. How come? Did he change his mind? Did I blunder through his boundaries and force an intervention? No and no. The truth is: God is good, prayer is powerful and everything is ultimately about Jesus.
