I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused it to grow. So neither the one who plants counts for anything, nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7 NET) Someone asked me how I got to know so much about pagan religion, witchcraft, satanism, etc.
"That's because I have long believed that evangelism didn't require immediate full conversion."
This reminds me of an old saying from my first invitation to formal ministry service: "People don't care what you know until they know that you care." Its sing-song, I know, but Jesus also felt compassion for people to miraculously feed them even though he knew they would be hungry again tomorrow.
