We are assuming too much at times when talking to people, especially when it comes to special subjects. (Talking about the weather is alright.)
I noticed that this morning, when talking to someone about the football game yesterday, EURO 2016, when Germany was beaten by France 2:0!
I mentioned the penalty in the first half of the game and the replacing of a German player in the second half because of injury.
Something like, I don’t really know what you are talking about, I was told when I was just about finished with what I had to say; and I was speaking english.
Apparently the person I was talking to did not know the ABC of football. (I grew up with football in Germany.)
The LESSON again:
When talking to someone about the Gospel, assume that it is a “special subject” for your listener. Sooner or later you will find out whether you are right or wrong.
