We're at the cliff edge but there is a way back. I don't know many people any more who aren't spiritually voyaging. No one who has been through suffering, nobody who's known redundancy or the loss of someone they love, nobody who's been threatened with the breakdown of their marriage or their relationship, nobody who's involved in the business of raising kids and wondering what is their future, isn't prepared to ask spiritual questions and isn't looking for answers. That doesn't mean that they're about to rush down the road and join the local Baptist church. But it means that there is an open questioning and if you form friendships and don't claim to know all the answers, I find that I get listened to all of the time.
People are desperate to talk.
They may wonder quite what they believe in, but they say, I believe in Jesus, I believe in God. The style of Christianity I grew up in is too ready to draw the lines. I acknowledge that people are on a journey and slowly lead them along. That's not the same as compromising and losing sight of the fact that you need to be born again. It's simply acknowledging that we need to beckon people into the Kingdom.
