Jesus was a King...People worshipped him. Paul was very outspoken about his God-given wisdom and insight into the way we should live our lives.<BR/><BR/>The problem with this theory is that not everyone knows who we are. Those that we are trying to form relationships with more than likely don't have any idea that we're doing so because we want to see them in heaven. This isn't necessarily through any fault of our own...It's not from shame, or a lack of faith. It's simply for the fact that we are not known for (as was said of Paul and Silas in Acts) "turning the world upside down".<BR/><BR/>SUMMARY-People knew where forming relationships with Paul and Jesus would lead, and because of this, they were more open to hearing the Gospel. And unless we're as well-known for our faith, we may not have the same results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
