The phone rings as I’m driving. I answer it. I can tell right away it’s a salesman because of the long pause. As soon as he says hello, this is So-and-so from so-and-so company, I said “I am so glad you called! Is Jesus your Lord and Savior?“
“Well yes ma’am, he is.“
“That is fantastic! What do you think it means for Jesus to be Lord?“
“Savior?“
“ Yes. And if he is Lord and your Savior, what does that mean to you?“
Silence.
“For example, if money was Lord of your life, would you do anything for money?“
“Well I assure you, it is not.“
“Well that’s good, but if it was, would you do anything to get money?“
“Well yes, I guess I would then.“
“ So if Jesus is Lord of your life, would you do anything that Jesus asks of you?“
“Yes.“
“Fantastic! So I volunteer on the sidewalks of abortion centers and you know that most of the women there claim that Jesus is Lord while they’re about to abort their baby. What do you think of that?“
“Well that’s a touchy subject for me. I believe they have a right to do that and I don’t really wanna get into it.“
“But if Jesus is Lord we do what he says, right? Is it OK to take that innocent human being’s life?“
“This is a really touchy subject. I don’t want to discuss it.“
“Well if it’s a touchy subject for you and you are claiming Jesus is Lord, I would strongly encourage you to examine why it is a touchy subject and what Jesus would have you do.“
“I see where you’re coming from. I hope you have a blessed day and thank you for taking this call.“
“Yes thank you for talking to me.“

I am loving my new ministry of witnessing to Robo callers.
