If I Went to.....

If I went to a Catholic wedding or funeral, I wouldn't expect them to change their service (i.e. the eucharist, etc.) because I'm there. And if I attended a Mormon church, I wouldn't expect them to change reading out of the Book of Mormon because I was there. In fact, I wouldn't respect churches that did that. However, I would apprecite it if they helped outsiders by explaining what they are doing and why.

Then, why in the world do we think that preaching the gospel of what happened at the cross, including sin and atonement, needs to be hidden to outsiders because they might be "offended?" Perhaps they will simply end up with no respect for us as they sense we don't believe much of anything?
