The Gospel

Lynne, that is just such an excellent article. Concise and clear.
As to your question: I'm comfortable sharing the gospel online with anyone, in person if someone asks me. Not so good with strangers or family members, to my chagrin.

Thank you LeeAnn. I have the same hesitation with family members and strangers. At times, I'm afraid I have avoided situations because of fear. I'm determined to overcome that problem, with God's help.

That was a great article, Lynne.

Do I feel comfortable sharing the gospel? Well, as both you and LeeAnn have said, it depends on the circumstances. At the Christian school where I teach, it is really easy. Ada and I share the good news every day we have school.

My Avon customers know me well enough that they ask me to pray for situations in their lives, as do other friends and family. Still, before I witness or share the gospel, I wait for them to question me about it unless God directs me to do otherwise.

I do invite others to come to church with me. Most of them say they will think about it, but a few do come.

I feel the best way of sharing the gospel is by how we live our own lives. If people see that you are happy, joyful, and at peace with your circumstances even when they are not so good, they will want what you have. Then it is easy to share the gospel.
