“Dad, how come none of our neighbors go to church?” five-year-old Tom asked as his family pulled into their driveway after returning from church. “Don’t they know that they are supposed to?”
“Well, son, they have chosen not to go. They think they have better things to do with their time,” Tom’s Dad replied.
“Do you think they even know about God? Do you think anyone has told them about Him?” Tom continued to ask.
Tom’s parents felt a bit awkward at Tom’s probing questions and tried to ignore them. They had lived next to some of their neighbors for ten years without ever telling them about God.
- Evaluate the Dad’s first response. Was this response accurate?
- How should Tom’s parents respond to his questions?
- How can Tom’s family begin to take steps to tell their neighbors about God?
- Are there relationships in our own lives where we have failed to share the Gospel? What should the next step be to share Christ in these relationships?
