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.

Close"Cancel culture" - a culture in which people are "cancelled" when considered offensive -- may be a new term, but the idea is nothing new. Paul dealt with this in 1 Corinthians 8 when he talked about eating meats: Some people stumbled, some didn't, but they both had to coexist in the same church. Practically speaking, how can that even be possible? How can two people who have two completely different viewpoints on a certain matter of opinion worship and grow together? One word: Patience.
