Be careful not to blame yourself if someone rejects Christ. If you do, you might be tempted to take credit when someone accepts him.
We will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ.
You see, religion alone can only take a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an inward transformation.
