Does evangelism scare you? Have you ever heard the word “evangelism.” It’s a word that describes sharing your faith in Christ. It’s what we Christians are to do as often as possible to share the love of Jesus with all those around us.
Sometimes I have a hard time sharing my faith. I know I’m a pastor, but I’m just keepin’ it real with you. I want people to like me, and often times that means keeping my views to myself. I’m good at sharing Jesus from the pulpit and in my actions, but articulating Jesus in everyday conversation is sometimes down right scary.
There’s a fine line in sharing your testimony though. Sometimes for me I have felt as though I needed to share it early on in a friendship, and other times it has come much later. I know I will take some flack for that, by some of you readers, but I have learned to let the Holy Spirit dictate and lead me into a conversation about Jesus and not my interest in putting another notch on my belt for winning a soul to Christ. Does that make sense?
I mean, I love to talk about Jesus, but I believe theres a time and place for everything.
Anyway, I saw this little video earlier today, and have laughed my head off. Don’t know about you, but I’m glad this guy isn’t for real. I would get knocked out every once in awhile… Would you?
unfortunately yes….so much in fact that I would probably be in a body cast. Thanks for sharing this Matthew.
I would have to just stay on the ground! I’m not sure why but I struggle to truly share my faith!
Great chuckle for a Sunday morn!!! Have an awesome day!
Thats really funny, the fake tackler; but how would you like to hear about a real life cheerleader for God?
I felt God telling me to go join this one particular church one time. I really didnt know why, but I didnt argue. So I go there the first Sunday morning I can and I just walk right up at the invitation and ask to join that church. I wasnt hesitant or afraid; I just knew plainly it was something I was supposed to do. As soon as church was over, this one Christian comes flying down out of the choir loft and gives me this whirling bear hug of excitement: tells me how glad she is I joined and I can come to her any time I need some help.
She was a cheerleader who sang like an angel, and offered protection like a shepherd. And you know what? Shes a real person, and she still cheerleads for God…at least once a week that I know of – Mondays at 6:30pm.
