Statement from neighbor at Panera


(I promise I wasn't snooping, it was loud), One woman said her grandma heard "angels singing."

The woman she was speaking to said, "Well, you know, if you believe it, it's true."

Her thoughts embody the thinking of the age. So how do we bring the "truth" of the gospel to her?
Update: The women who were talking ended up being a part of a large women's bible study being held at Panera. Do you see the problem? I don't have any reason to believe these women aren't believers in Jesus, but their view of truth has been shaped by the culture around them. Something is deemed as "true" "if you believe it" to be true. Being seeped in relativism (see Oprah Winfrey's religion podcast; actually, no, please don't), the default mode is to now think in these terms.

We proclaim it.

So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(Rom 1:15-16 ESV)
