We're wired to share good news. I think we're wired to do it. When something good
happens to us,
what we naturally do is tell other people about it.
My son
is the kindergarten champion of chess
in the city of Gardena. I told everybody about that.
I couldn't wait to tell other people about that. It was such -
part of that is my tiger-parent issues that I'm working through.
It's this great news that happened to our family, and I just wanted to share it with other people
and in the sharing it with others, I get to relive the moment and other people
get to share in the joy with me.
And it's this wonderful thing
we wired to do that, whether we have a good meal at a restaurant
or read a great book, but especially the very important things that happen in our
lives - we tell somebody
'cause we're wired to do it so
why should we talk about religion,
faith, Christianity? If we really think that it's that good
then having a chance to share it,
you know, this is an opportunity to talk about the great things that are happening in
our lives.
We're so quick to share about the great product that we experienced or this
great thing. When it comes to the thing that we think is
the very core for life - wouldn't it be great to offer this great thing to others?
Now, I know that there's a lot of things around that.
But ultimately, if we got something good
and we really think it can help, can we find ways to talk about it
without being pushy? In a humble way,
but still in the end talking about the ways God is
interacting in our lives.
