Thoughts on Comments – Part 5

I will be commenting on the comments from my previous series (here: https://copytestprove.com/thoughts-on-a-conversation-with-a-stranger-part-1/), and (of course, because it is my job) will link to a Bible scripture and/or tell of a specific corresponding situation. These are comments from Part 3 of the series (here: https://copytestprove.com/thoughts-on-a-conversation-with-a-stranger-part-3/ )

I believe everyone has a story to tell. Even if they’re not Christian, even if they’re not actively sharing their faith, even if they don’t feel like they have a story to tell.

There’s a saying I heard from somewhere, that even though there is writer’s block, no one has speaker’s block. Everyone wants to be heard.

But also people are more interested in hearing stories than sermons. I think that’s why stand-up comedians are still in business.

Even Jesus did it. There is a verse where it says that during His public ministry, ‘Without a parable, He spake not unto them.’

The greatest evangelist Paul the Apostle almost always started his sermons with his own personal story of how he came to know Christ and why he became a Christian.

I figure that if it’s good enough for Jesus and the greatest propagator of the Gospel, why not give it a try?

What way has worked for you in the past/present?
