With whom would you most like to have dinner?

Posted on June 29, 2015 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments

This morning I was thinking about this question:

If you had the opportunity to have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would you choose? Why would you make this choice?

There are so many good choices in each category. I think that of anyone that is alive today, I would choose Bono to have dinner with. Bono seems like a person that has depth and conviction and I would come away a better person for the meeting.

With regard to those who have gone before, there are so many good choices from history and the pages of Scripture. One of my favorite characters in the Bible is Micaiah son of Imlah who is found in 1 Kings 22. I like him because he used humor to get his point across to the wicked King Ahab. In that brief encounter recorded in Scripture, I get the impression that he is someone who I would enjoy getting to know.

What about you? Who would you choose? Why that choice? Please take a few minutes to add your answer in the comment section below. For those who are reading this by email, click on the hyperlinked title of this post and you will be taken to the web site where you can enter your comment.

Miles Stanford on Appropriating Blessing

Too often we try to earn God’s blessing when it has already been granted. Miles Stanford warns leaders against laying conditions for blessing on the church.

Crowds and compassion

While we might view a crowd as an inconvenience, Jesus viewed the crowd as an opportunity to meet their physical and spiritual needs. There is much we can learn from Jesus’ feeding of the 4,000 as recorded in Mark 8.

Good News Elevator Speech

In recent years, the business world has coined the phrase “elevator speech.” Sellers are encouraged to be able to explain their product offering to someone in the elevator in the 20 seconds or so it takes to get to their floor. Most people who have been in the church for a while have been taught […]

The Greatest Apologetic?

If we claim to be spending time in fellowship and service of Jesus, like those he healed in the Gospels, we should be eternally affected and it should show to those around us.

Perhaps the effect that Jesus has had upon us is the greatest apologetic.
