A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Nearly a third of Jesus’ teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though — they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn’t. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective.
Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.

CloseOne of the accusations that is so often leveled at Christians is that we're "narrow-minded" in our approach to life. If that's true, then let it be because that's how our Master taught us to be. Hypocrisy and bigotry is not excusable, but being "narrow-minded" in response to our faith is not only advisable, but the only acceptable position that God has allowed us to have.
