“To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).
Ladies, when you were someone’s mission field didn’t you respond more to someone who first shared a testimony and developed a bond with you? The fact that person took the time to build a friendship then share the gospel may have been instrumental in your decision to follow Christ. This person didn’t compromise values to be your buddy. You actually respected this.
One commentary I read about our verse stated the following about Paul, “When I am with those whose consciences bothered them easily, I don’t act as though I know it all and don’t say they are foolish; the result is that they are willing to let me help them.” Paul was not afraid to use all possible means to lead someone to Christ. Wherever and whatever your station in life, you will encounter people who need the Lord. Ask God to help you be resourceful in using all means that you, too, might be able to lead some to Christ.
