Evangelism is not..................

[ronpasley]

Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus.

-Elton Trueblood


I thought this was good to share, something that we do not think about until we hear a sermon from a pastor. Truly we who have repented and live for the King we are evangelism to this world everyday.

Re:

I wholeheartedly agree. Read this, which I think brings home the point. We are ambassadors for Christ.

2 Cor 5
[20] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [21] For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Another good one Ron.
Out in Arkansas, there's the Center for the Study of Church Growth. It's a group of really smart Christian's studying what's going on with church growth and decline in different regions of the USA.

One thing they've learned is that 6% of the church population is there because of a preacher and what he said to them from the pulpit or in Bible study.

6% from the preacher.
94% from people who are touching other lives as they live for Christ.

Our example is powerfully important.
