Fear to Tell

Tuesday night Cindy and I took a couple out to dinner. Chow time just beckons to the gluttonous appetite. They train you in evangelism to turn the conversation towards spiritual matters. But being Minister I come to realize that people are expecting you to bring God into the conversation. So I like to use unorthodox means. Found out that her Grandma is a Bible thumper and his Granddad is an evangelist. So they were use to the standard Bible drill. So the Lord lead me to go Plato on them. I ask them if you lived in a community underground that was for the most part in complete darkness. Then one day you stumbled on a path that lead you to the surface of a new world. Just coming out of the cave in this new world hurt your eyes because of the brightness of the son light. How would tell the inhabitants of your underworld your family about this new discovery. Would you shake them, plead with them, urge them just to have faith? Would they think your crazy and ignore you or even worse persecute you, put you in prison or even kill you. Would you be to afraid to tell?
