His plumber’s name is Judas

Posted on 04 August 2009

On Donald Miller’s blog he just posted a kind of frustrated rant on people sharing the gospel. Intense and thoughtful.

Recently I purchased a new garbage disposal for my kitchen sink as the old one sounded like I’d dropped a watch in it. I got a referral from a friend for a good plumber, a man who happened to be a Christian, and I called him for an estimate. I called around and his price seemed fair so I made an appointment. The plumber, I will call him Judas, came over with the new disposal and installed it in under an hour. As far as plumbing goes, he was a master craftsman. I was very pleased with his work. And he was polite and kind and even made good conversation, explaining to me how my pipes worked. But here is why I was upset with my plumber:

He did not share the gospel of Jesus with me.

EDIT: ahhh, i see what he did there. that went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my head.
