Have you ever had a creative idea for sharing the Good News, but then shied away from it because it seemed too crazy? I’m here to tell you that even the apostle Paul used non-conventional ways to spread the Good News Gospel so, don’t give up too quickly, okay?

In I Corinthians 9, Paul says, “I make myself a slave to everyone to win as many as possible. To the Religious, I became like a religious person to win them to Christ. To those under the law, I became like one under the law …I became all things to all men so that by all possible means, I might save some.” Paul had a clear conviction. His passion, his personal attitude was, I will put no obstacle in front of the Good News. He’s saying he’ll preach the Gospel no matter what, because that’s what God has charged him to do. When it comes to methodology, he’s flexible. He did whatever it took, within reason, to present the Good News to the people of his day.

The truth is that if your method is ethical and moral, you can use any method you want. Methods aren’t important - it’s the message that’s sacred and essential. So do whatever it takes to communicate God’s love and grace to people in your world and God will use you.
