NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL SOMEONE SELLS SOMETHING. An acquaintance of mine had owned her own business for twenty years. While she was the CEO she always felt she needed a salesperson. She had convinced herself that she couldn’t sell. So after she sold her business, she found a position as Director of Marketing. I asked her about the fact she said she couldn’t sell. She responded that she wasn’t selling she was just building relationships.

That's what the Lord is talking about when he is asking us to share the gospel. After we have established common ground, and built a relationship based on that common ground. Then we can pop the key question.

 Luke 11:9-12

9          "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

10         For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11         "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12         Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
