do we meet people where they are?

    While I was on my way home from performing with my dummy Willie, I thought about some of the ways that I've told others of Christ.  I hadn't always taken in consideration the culture and religious beliefs of the person I was talking to.  Tonight I read in Acts 17:22-31.  I love how Paul addressed the people in a way of respect and honor while also engaging them in sincere conversation. He took in consideration their diversities, education, religions, and the many perspectives that surrounded him.  He commends them of the fact they are very religious, that he had seen their objects of worship and that they even had an altar of worship that was inscribed, "The Unknown God".  They were worshiping the God they didn't even know.  Paul presumes that they(we) all need to hear this same truth.  Then he lets them know:
1.God is right here.  
2.They(we) can know Him.
3.God reveals Himself hoping that they(we) will seek Him.
4.God reveals Himself hoping that they(we) will reach out to Him.
5.God's whole purpose of revealing Himself was that we would find Him.
       My prayer is this, to become sensitive to diversity.
