O think it was Mark Cahill who said, "Every time you share the gospel it is a winning situation." I couldn't agree with you more.
God does not need us to scare, convince, or somehow coerce someone to turn to Christ. He has just invited us to participate in the blessing of what He is doing in the lives of others.
We need to stop waiting for a certain level of friendship, or that magical word or clarity, or that perfect moment and simply share with everyone we talk with.
Yes, live them with our actions, but if we never open our lips to share, we will have saved them in this life only to see them lost in the next.
Thanks for being part of the conversation, Lex! I think that coercion and manipulation have come to play a large part in our evangelism, and this troubles me. I'm hoping to continue addressing these issues in my writing.
Excellent.
