We are having an evangelism conference this weekend to learn more about sharing our faith. One of the most challenging talks I've ever heard on evangelism was given last night by one of our staff guys on why we don't share our faith. Here are a few of my notes.

1. Unbelief
2. Fear of REjection and Failure
3. We lack compassion for people
4. We lack love for Christ.

Remember what God has done in your life!
1 Peter 2:24-25
24(A) He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we(B) might die to sin and(C) live to righteousness.(D) By his wounds you have been healed. 25For(E) you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to(F) the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

"If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for."
— Charles Spurgeon

This video has well known athiest Penn asking "How much do you have to hate someone not to tell them what you believe is true?"



I was really challenged by Luke 21:14-15 and reminded not to trust in my own words but rather to trust in Christ who has the power to change hearts!
