I love those rare occasions when a good idea crosses my mind during a conversation—an original thought that’s something more than just reprocessing information or experience already familiar to everyone in the exchange. My prideful instinct gives myself credit, but then I realize a more significant thing has likely happened. I’ve been a conduit for the Spirit of Christ or a co-creator with God.

And now I ask myself, “Do non-Christians get great ideas and if so where do they come from?” I expect God would get quite bored working exclusively with Christians.
