Avoid muddying the water

While driving up to Little Rock yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving, we discussed how to share the gospel with someone. After lots of talking, the most clear, Biblically correct expression emerged as a single question. “Are you trusting in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins?”

Avoid “muddying the water”. Use this as you teach the lesson, “When Considering Matters of Life and Death,” by placing two glasses of water on a table. One should hold clear water and the other should be full of muddy water. Ask members which one they think would appeal most to a thirsty person.

As you celebrate Thanksgiving, be open to an opportunity the Lord brings into your life and ask, “Are you trusting in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins?” Ask it with an emphasis on the presence tense as David did in his song of praise to the Lord, 2 Samuel 22:1-51.

Happy Thanksgiving!
