Preaching in the checkout line
About 10 years ago, I was in line at Ralphs in L.A. waiting to checkout my groceries. Since it's been a while, the details are fuzzy. But I remember feeling compelled to talk about the Lord with the fellow waiting in line behind me. Let's just say it didn't end well! Everything in his words and actions were actually proving the Bible! When I told him so, he cried out loud,"She's preaching to me!" as if I'd committeed a felony. No one came to his rescue. Are we coming to a place in history when sharing the gospel with someone will be outlawed? This is nothing new in communist countries. But what about on our own soil? I believe those days are right around the bend. So I say preach while we are able! As the Spirit leads, of course. Throughout the ages, men have vehemently opposed the gospel and did not want to hear it. Why? Because it convicted them of their sin and they wanted to continue in their sin and not repent. Some things never change. J
