1 Corinthians 9:19-23

I have been watching Chuck tonight and it got me thinking.  How does this relate to Christianity.  I mean the whole spy thing, is there something here for us as Christians?  I was struck with I Corinthians 9:22 where Paul said “I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some”.  This point made me think about how we are kind of like spies.  We are not out saving the world from the next big threat, we are saving the world from the thief of souls, one soul at a time.  We are not protecting humanity, we are building Gods family.  The spy work we do is not to be hidden or deceptive but to be seen clearly and understood.  We are to be able to infiltrate our surroundings, gain their trust, and share the truth of the Gospel.
