This last week I had a conversation with a young woman

Afterward, I was impressed by her sincerity and compassion

– she had been trying to explain her beliefs to her roommates

• for awhile they had listened, but then began to raise objections

• so she warned them, that we are living in the “end times!”

◦ and whoever doesn’t believe in Jesus will go to hell

◦ that pretty much ended their talk

– to her credit, she was very receptive when I suggested she try a different strategy
