Evangelism Pushes For Me:
- I believe God and the Bible have truth that bring life and make it so much more clear
- I believe there are hurting people who need the gospel
- God offers a change, purpose, transformation that goes beyond human capability
- I want nonChristian people to feel loved, accepted, wanted, and needed yet challenged, equipped, heard, understood, and pressed to commit and be a lifetime searcher/follower of God
- Potential of a life of love, giving, and living for something that goes beyond us.
Evangelism Hold Ups for Me:
- Confusion about knowing what truth is for everyone's needs and what truth i have interpreted just for me or my personality (extrovert-meeting everybody)
- Not feeling like i have given TRUTH(God in the world/not just the US) in all the world a fair chance. ( small mindset idea)
- Solution: start with what i know for sure
- Relationships are too much of a time investment, i have a lot of ambitions, and too little time to invest(So sad, seems so wrong, but so the mentality)
- Not having others of the same heart, friend/involvement group, that i would feel are where i would bring my nonChristian friends
- Church solution these days: Small groups
- Want it to be something i can't wait to share with people. (It hasn't transfered from me to something people HAVE to HAVE NOW the way i think it should)
- Solution: Need to understand what it means to me
- Balance between investing in non-Christian relationships and going into the world vs. getting them involved in church or a body of believers and not being apart of the world
- Believing the local church has something to offer me or my friends
- I don't want it to have to rely heavily on reading/praying (individual alone time w/ God)
