One of the things that inhibits Christians from participating in evangelism is fear. Fear of ruining a friendship; fear of saying the wrong thing; fear of being outed as a Bible-thumping Jesus Freak. But evangelism isn’t something that succeeds or fails because of our skill level. Evangelism is God’s work, and it will go on with or without us. If we avoid it, it’s not God’s loss.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 |
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 |
