I have birthday parties. My kids have birthday parties.
We participate in Halloween festivities and we exchange gifts on Christmas.
Did I ever feel strange trying to convert people? Not at all. I genuinely believed I was doing the right thing, and I did my best to bring people to what I believed was a closer relationship to God.
When I started to have doubts, I stopped trying to convert. My conversations became much more about trying to understand what the Bible teaches, without a goal of convincing the other person to agree with me. I was more into figuring out the right answers together. Never made a lot of progress.
