Opportunities to turn a conversation from the natural to the spiritual abound if we'll only be alert to them. When arriving at work today, a father and two of his older teen sons were just getting on the elevator and asked me, "Going up?" Now that presented a perfect opportunity.
"Yes," I answered enthusiastically, "I am." I then asked, "Do you know for sure that you're going up?" They looked at me trying to figure out exactly what I meant? "Will you be going up when you die," I clarified. "Oh," the dad said, "no one can know that for sure," he added. "Yes you can," I responded happily.
As we started going up, I explained the bible says you can know for sure what your eternal destiny will be if you repent and trust Christ for salvation (Mk. 1:15). I asked them if they had repented and trusted Christ.
That's how easy it can be turn a conversation to what matters most. Go fish!
"Follow me and I will teach you to fish for men!" Jesus. (Matt. 4:19).
