I just finished the book, Speaking of Jesus: the Art of Not Evangelism, by Carl Medearis. recommended by a dear friend, Thomas Davis, who works with sharing the gospel good news of Jesus (ISA) with Muslims. I was blown away. Thomas and i were trained together in sharing the gospel many years ago. We learned to pray, partner, share the gospel with our bibles, with tracts, with story. I with Medearis still believe there is a place for that training and for sharing the gospel in the way/method of many good and well-meaning "programs" Medearis proposes that we share JESUS. that is all. Not how to be a Christian. Not how to be religious. Not a ticket to heaven. Not any of the religious things we have fallen into. Share that you are following Jesus. Trying to live like Jesus. Is He making a difference enough in your life today that people would want to hear your story? Share that! back it up with sound knowledge of His word, that love letter you need to read again and again. I invite you to read this work. My eyes are open! Love people like God loves you!
