Reflections:
It�s so easy, when preaching the gospel, to get sidetracked by issues that divert us away from Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The only relevant issues are, sin and death (separation from God eternally), forgiveness of sin and eternal life with God. This, of course, being made possible by the shedding of Jesus� blood, and His atoning sacrifice on the cross leading to His glorious resurrection from the dead.
The �evolution� sidetrack, or the, �I don�t believe the Bible is the word of God sidetrack,� or �The all religions lead to God sidetrack,� will keep you going around the �mountain of avoidance� for hours and hours. The issues are endless. This is one of the devil�s favorite ploys -- to mask the essential issues that lead to salvation.
Like the apostle Paul, we should try to always bring the conversation back to �Jesus Christ and him crucified.� This maximizes the Holy Spirit�s opportunity to convict the person�s heart of sin so that they can reach the point of repentance. Only then are they ready for a biblical salvation leading to water baptism and a lifetime of righteousness, peace and joy in serving the Lord Jesus Christ ...
