Engagement
Read Acts 17.19-23
“.. I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship ..” (Acts 17.23)
Paul kept his eyes open! He was an astute observer of whatever society in which he found himself and discerned the points at which he’d best be able to engage with those for whom the gospel comprised ‘strange ideas’ (v.20).
What are the similar points of ‘engagement’ in our society today?
Read Jn.4.16: Paul here reflects the pattern of Jesus: he puts his finger on a ‘raw nerve’: what might be the ‘raw nerves’ in our society today?
Prayer: Grant to me the discerning grace of Your Holy Spirit, Lord, that in my every conversation today I may know how best to point others to Yourself.
