The sooner we can admit that it’s ok to not have all the answers, the better.

The Bible is full of examples of when the disciples didn’t quite get it. When Jesus talked about the parable of the sower in Mark 4, His followers had to ask Him about it afterwards (Mark 4:10-13). When Jesus rose again from the dead and appeared to some of them, the rest of the disciples didn’t believe it (Mark 16:12-13).

As we continue to walk in our relationship with Christ and grow, here are 3 things to remember when talking with others about the Gospel.... Keep reading
