When I first came to town to start Calvary Fellowship, I met some "ministers" who looked down upon me because we were evangelical (a dirty word here to many). I honestly was taken back, because I had never considered for a minute that there was an alternative to Christians being for evangelism,proselytizing or whatever you want to call it. If you believe in God, devil, Heaven, Hell, etc., then why in the world would you NOT tell other people?!?
This past Sunday I recast the vision to our church that we need to be all about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to "lost" people. Despite my best efforts, a well-know atheist (Penn Jillette) made a better case for why Christians should evangelize and how they should do it than I did as he recounts an experience with a man who reached out to him.
Forget tolerance, political correctness...whatever. We have a great message that the world needs to hear (their souls hinge on it), we should not hesitate to share it! Penn has a great message for us, we should not hesitate to hear it!
I'm speechless! What a shocking truth to us Christians!!!
