Become All Things to All Men

Here's a written version of the video. The written part might make more sense.

1Cr 9:19 "Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible."
1Cr 9:22b-23 "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."

God has been pointing out this verse to me. It's all about being a well-rounded and relatable person. Paul talks about all the different people he has to interact with: poor, Jewish, lawless, etc. He becomes whatever they are, in order to be able to share with them the gospel of Christ. If you've never played a video game in your life, how will you be able to talk to a total nerd about God? If you've never played a sport in all your years, how will you talk in relatable terms with an athlete? If you never listen to rap, how can you relate to someone who adores that genre? AND IF YOU NEVER BLOG, SHOULDN'T YOU AT LEAST READ SOME??? (that last part was for Michelle)

To be able to lead as many as possible to Christ, we need to be approachable on the level of those we encounter. So at least dabble in a lil' of everything so you can have an understanding with all those around you. Paul's reasons are to: lead people to Christ, and share in the blessing of the gospel. I'd like a share of that blessing. Wouldn't you?
