In our Lenten Friday series we have examined the cultural worldview and its rejection of absolute truth. We have seen that the gospel must be relevant before our society will consider that it might be right. Last week we learned the significance of taking our message to our friends, admitting that they will not come to us. Today we finish our discussion with the imperative to act now.

As we have seen in our Friday series, much of our society does not believe that it needs what we offer. Only two percent of Americans are afraid they might go to hell. "Truth" is personal and subjective; Christianity is "your" truth but that doesn't make it "my" truth. As we continue this Lenten season, how do we help our friends trust the Christ we love? Do we let them try to climb out of their spiritual graves, or curl up in the corner? Or do we go and get them out?
