Many times in my life I've been told that talking to someone about Jesus is a "war." There's warfare going out there in every home and every work place. Today I was confronted with something though. On my way to work I turned on the Christian radio station and in about 2 minutes heard diatribes for at least three different moral political issues by a leading voice in the Christian community. That's a pretty normal occurance. However, today it was somewhat thought provoking.

You see, about a half hour before my ride to work, I watched a news story on the CBS Morning Show(I tried to post a link, but CBS doesn't have it up yet) about religion in the work place. It seems that dozens of Fortune 500 companies are now converting conference rooms into "Meditation and Prayer" rooms for people of all religions in their companies to come and pray during the work day. While their motives are most likely driven by the bottom line, they are inviting conversations about God to come into the workplace.

I couldn't help but think:

Why is the Christian news railing against the enemy, and our need to pass legislation because the proverbial powers of the world are against us; yet a secular news station is reporting that Non-Christian businessmen are gladly welcoming "spiritual conversations" into their companies? How many Christians own businesses but are afraid of having a Muslim pray in their board room? How many Christians are there who refuse to do this because it "conflicts with their values?" Are "We" missing the mark?

Praise God for using non-Christians to open the doors to having open and honest conversations about Him.
