1 One of the greatest needs of our time is for Christians to have a greater interest in the salvation of others We must be willing to make adjustments in the interest of saving souls, willing to go out of our way to serve?

2 PAUL WILLING TO ADAPT HIS LIFE – To the Jews he became AS a Jew Acts 21:26 Acts 16:3 – To those without law (Gentiles) he became AS without law – To the weak (brother) he became AS weak 1Cor. 8:13 – Why become all things to all men? To save souls

3 TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT OURSELVES! – If you are especially interested in someone - aren't you willing to go out of your way, adjust your lifestyle? In realm of amusement & entertainment, people tolerate our hobbies, taste in music, sports, etc Why? They care about us, want to be our friend – Aren't we willing to accommodate, events of local interest, in speech, in dress, in etiquette, etc? Only for those closest to us! Why not for those outside our normal comfort zone? Why not those whose souls are in jeopardy?

4 THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO ADAPTING – Line between adapting and hypocrisy is sometimes very fine - don't be a hypocrite – We must not adapt in anyway to what would be sinful 1Cor. 8:4-6 – While being adaptable - we must not hold back truth Declare whole counsel of God Acts 20:27 Must preach even when it causes trouble Gal 4:16 Remember - the truth saves! Jhn 8:32

5 REMEMBER MOTIVES IN ADAPTING – Save others V. 22 Heaven our goal Matt 28:18-20; Jhn 14:1-4 We forget how terrible hell is Lk 16:19-31 – To save self, we must try to save others 1Tim. 4:16 Song: You never mentioned Him to me – We must get out of our comfort zone and get involved in lives of our brothers and sisters – Do we really know our brothers and sisters? If we know of one struggling spiritually, we must try to help them!

6 One of the greatest needs of our time is for Christians to have a greater interest in the salvation of others. When we are really interested - we will be more than willing to accommodate. Above all we need to adapt or adjust to the Lord - do His will by obeying the gospel We must get our life right - then get involved in helping others
