<p>As a number are noting so well here, the pervasive seduction and theme of our culture calls them to being gentle, sweet, “nice”, and loving as they ignore the truth that their so-called friends and loved ones are aboard the train headed for Hell in their eternity. :eek: Heaven forbid any might be awakened from their sleeping car and pleasureable dreams.

<p>btw, Christians are not called to be “persuasive.” Only convicted, committed, and commissioned. As a preacher I know often says, “we are so kind and decent, that we are indecent.” Indecent indeed as the train rolls on… while we’re all being nice.</p>
