Subject: should a christian go into night club |
Bible Note: I believe the answer to this question depends on the maturity of the Christian. New Christians have great enthusiasm to prosyletize, but often underestimate what they are up against. As a result, they sometimes rush in, thinking THEY will save the lost, when they should instead be mindful that it is the Holy Spirit who will do this miracle in them in His own time in His own way. The mature Christian, on the other hand, will follow the lead of the Holy Spirit, facilitating opportunities for Him to work through the interaction/relationship between the Christian and the other person. I'm not saying it is not possible to minister to people in a night club, in fact, I know a couple of pastors who have done this effectively. However, they worked together as a team, fully dressed in the armor of God, wary of the subtle ways the enemy works through the night club environment and able to discern who was open to the Spirit. I hope this helps. Parable |
