Awkward conversations have adorned the dinner table ever since Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Be prepared to receive them! You can be sure that they’ll come.

Can you give me even one good reason? “No, I don’t need reasons—I just feel it’s so.” That short exchange might take place many times a day between Christians. But it never should.
