Soul-winning Requires Resisting Diversions

The woman acknowledged her sin, but now, as the conversation was getting “too hot” for her, she introduced a controversial subject to change the conversation: “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship” (v. 20).

When you get to the personal sin issue, the sinner gets nervous, and the devil gets nervous, and he puts in his last attack: his diversion is to change the subject. And the soul-winner who wants to be kind, and look good, and still be liked, will fall for the trap and go along with the diversion. Oh, how many have abandoned the course to win the lost by giving in to diversions?
