If people hate Jesus because of you, that's a problem.” - Dave Adamson "Christians: We should be the kindest people; the most generous with our finances; the most welcoming of strangers; the most inquisitive of those different than us; the most hospitable with our homes; the most helpful at our workplaces. Let people disagree with your beliefs. But never with your behavior." - Brian Dye "There is a form of evangelism that urges Christians to use every opportunity to share the gospel. Unfortunately, insensitive evangelism often proves harmful not only to the obdurate whose heart is hardened by the un-differentiating evangelist, but harmful also to the gospel that is force-fed. Aggressive evangelism gets converts and counts them, but we are never able to count those turned away from the gospel, for the numbers of the offended are never tallied." - Dr. Craig Blomberg 1 Corinthians 9:22 “Preach the Gospel and if necessary, use words.” - Unknown “You should seek to show non-Christians why the gospel is beautiful before they are ready to accept it as true.” - Timothy Keller Next Steps: Let Your Life Speak For Itself Engage Intentionally with Others Pray for Boldness and Sensitivity
