Personal Evangelism

Regarding people hearing the Gospel, we want people to hear about the name “Jesus” so that people would be curious to know who is this Man. As long as Jesus Christ’s name is being proclaimed, we should be glad regardless of anyone's motives. Evangelism requires courtesy from a believer and be Christ-like. Many have accepted Christ by watching Christians more than talking. In 1 Corinthians 13:5 says "Love does not act unbecomingly"; which means a Christian should demonstrate godly love and have real credibility. Your credibility is evangelism. Is the modern day church growth movement biblical or unbiblical in its beliefs and practices? Is it helpful or harmful to Christianity? There are people who claim to follow Christ who will avoid "sound doctrine" (See 2 Timothy 4:1-8). There are many who profess to follow Christ seem to be unyielding to God's Word because they prefer to be surrounded by teachers who will tell them exactly what they want to hear. In 2 Timothy 4:3, "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." Be zealous for God but at the same time, you have to understand that being zealous without sensitivity can cause an unbeliever not to turn to God. There are Christians who are zealous for the Lord and forget the sensitivity of humanity. Trust God to use us they way He intended to use us. If He wants to heal us, He will. If He does not want to heal us because He wants to use us for His ministry, we will let Him. When we accepted Christ as our Savior, Christ became our LORD and we give ourselves to HIM (see Romans 12:1-8).
