“I’m Changing a Tire”

There was a great panel discussion today at 930 Mary Street including Al Mohler, Mark Dever, David Platt, Ed Stetzer, Danny Akin, and Daniel Montgomery. I thought everyone who spoke gave thoughtful answers to some great questions.

Maybe more importantly, however, were the actions of my buddy Lee as he was on his way to meet me at the panel. I was waiting for him to arrive, seats saved and everything, but he was yet to arrive as the panel began. I called him to see where he was and his reply was, “I am on the side of the road, helping a lady change her tire with another guy. We’ll be there in a bit.” I was so glad he stopped to serve this lady even though he had an appointment elsewhere. How weird would it have been to go listen to a panel discussion on the great commission after having passed a woman who was clearly in need of help on the side of the road?

I think little things like that are how we can tangibly show the compassion of Christ and share the gospel.
