God is speaking to us ---but are we listening?




God is speaking to us ---but are we listening?

I read an article in a Swedish newspaper the other day, by a famous Swedish preacher and writer Ulf Ekman

Ha says:
Preachers, theologians and many others are wondering what is needed to reach the Swede today with the gospel?. Much effort is spent thinking and analysing what can be done, both to lack of interest in spiritual matters, and the part of Christians relative spiritual lukewarmness.

Well I don't have all the answers but one thing I do know is that people in general very seldom do what you tell them to do, they do what you do!

As a Christian you have to be a living example. Don't be judgemental, be open. Before you can lift people to higher ground, you have to find common ground!

Many Christians especially in Sweden are a bit afraid to talk openly, in schools, at their workplaces or among friends and family about their Christian faith.

Ive witness that "Internationals" coming to Sweden and are evangelising over here, are reaching the Swedes in a more effective way.
We should use all the brains we have, and use them well!

So all you Christians out there, be open, be genuine, be sensitive, and frank. Show them with your way to live that by doing so they can add so much more in their life.
We need to be out there, to meet the people where they are and bring them in...


God bless you.
