Door to Door Evangelist Guy

Friday, October 03, 2008

I know that there has been a lot of disagreement in the church on HOW to do evangelism... Confrontational, or Lifestyle. Acts of service, or "Way of the Master". Four Laws or Bridge.

But I think in this day in age relationships are the most appropriate bridge to bring the love of Jesus to those who don't yet know Him. They need to not only hear the gospel, but they need to see it lived out incarnationally. We need to let our friends, family and co-workers around us see and hear Jesus. We have to show people Christ where we work, live and play and do so with love and a winsome spirit.

That doesn't mean that we have to be perfect, but rather let people see how our faith intersects our life. We need to be willing to give our lives away, serving and caring for those around us. In a world of isolation and cocooning, simply inviting a friend or neighbor into our home for coffee of dinner can go a long way in showing people Jesus.

Knocking on people's doors in the evening or weekend - either for evangelism or even church visitation ain't going to fly anymore in this culture. Invading people's homes unannounced or unwelcomed will only put up walls not build bridges.
