Why is evangelism so difficult? This is a question I have asked a few people in our church over the last three or four weeks. Some of the responses were…
“I don’t want to push my religion on others.”
“I’m afraid I don’t know enough.”
“I’m afraid of what they will think of me.”
“If I live a good life, they’ll be able to SEE the what I believe.”
“I’m not sure I believe it myself sometimes.”
Wow…there is truth in all of these and if you are a follower of Christ, there are probably bits of all of these that ring true for you. Isn’t it crazy that many of us have made it hard or a chore or something that is impossible for us to do….to tell someone GOOD NEWS?!
This fall at Southwest (the church that I get to serve), we are calling our church to “Go Public”. We hope to give inspiration, challenge, and tools for this body to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the people in our circle of friends and beyond.
For this 6 week series, I have put together a “Daily Devotional Guide” for our church. You can download the pdf of the guide here or sign up for a daily email.
