Trying to talk with an unsaved person about God can be a fruitless and discouraging conversation if when we use “churchy” expressions. We need to remember our own way of thinking prior to salvation. We did not use spiritual expressions that we only understood after God taught them to us, so why would be speaking in spiritual terms to someone who has yet to be taught those meanings? If you are trying to talk with someone about their need for salvation, speak in terms that are culturally current so that they may know what you are saying and not be confused by post-salvation terminology.
