It
is amazing sometimes how spiritually dense, and worldly minded, people can
be.
I've
known some to habitually fall asleep, not during a long sermon, but at the
beginning! On
one occasion, I was sharing the gospel of Christ with a person, after
presenting the gospel message and reviewing examples of conversion in the NT, I
asked if he had any questions,
he
only had one: "In that passage
where the Spirit caught Philip away (Ac 8:39), do you think that could have
actually been a UFO?"
A similar thing happened to Jesus on one occasion. He was teaching on the importance of fearing God, and confessing Him before others, when someone from the crowd interrupts with a request for Jesus to resolve a family dispute over an inheritance! This prompted not only a terse response from Jesus, but a warning and parable to the crowd about the dangers of covetousness and placing one's confidence in earthly riches.
