Personal Evangelism
This weekend I had the privilege of attending a prayer breakfast with the men of my church. We hold this event once each month on the 2nd Saturday morning at 8:00am. Yesterday, we happened to study about personal evangelism. Our launching scripture was Matthew 28: 18-20: "Go therefore and make disciple...teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you..." This is paraphrase of the scripture, but the gist is we must be examples of Christ in our everyday walk and leadership styles. It is a matter of our Christian duty. I learned on yesterday that we cannot ignore the fact that it is our duty to evangelize. As a matter of duty we cannot sit back and wait on others to act, we must act because the need is great. I also learned that in our evangelism we must be humble and approach lost person with truth that is spoken with meekness and kindness. Evangelism is truly leading with the soul.

To your last two sentences: amen and amen!
ReplyDeleteAs a leader you have to be willing to go, just as Jesus did, and make disciples in all arenas. You need to be committed in what you believe. Jesus had people who did not join him, as we have people we lead not want to join us. We must be true and stay the course.
