Witnessing

(1/10) > >>

Jackie Lee:
I am having a hard time with this all I can do is be quiet, Are we supposed to witness?
I know most don't recieve witnessing very well.
 I didn't, it took God to show me and he is still clleaning house with me.

YellowStone:
Jackie, you ask a very interesting question: Should we Witness?

I have no answer other than what I do and that is to pray for the wisdom to know that to say and the courage to say it when given the opportunity.

It is certainly way more effective to witness to an attentive person than someone whose eyes and ears are still welded shut. :)

I hope this helps a little. :)

Love in Christ,
Darren

Jackie Lee,

I think Darren is right.  When given the opportunity, we should be ready.  "1 Peter 3:15 - But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:   

Christianity shoves witnessing down your throat and then makes you feel guilty if you don't do it.  Our church had a witness day, a passing out tracts day, a singing hymns on the street corner day...etc., for what?  Nobody wanted to do it and everyone was made to feel guilty if they didn't and those that did it would gloat in it....talk about hypocrisy!!!   

This is Babylon at its worst.  Thank God that we came out her!!

In Him,

Dwight

Jackie Lee,

  There is a paper that Ray Smith wrote about this.  It is called Winning Souls for Christ or something like that.  Here's the link for this.

  Enjoy.  Let us know what you think about the paper, if you have not read it before. 

  Sincerely,

Hi Jackie Lee,

I feel like my primary desire is to give an answer.


1Peter 3:15  but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to everyone who aks you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear;
v. 16  having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Christ.

But I also feel like the way we live and the words we say speaks volumes about us.  It is by our behavior we are known, just as the works of Jesus bear witness of Him. 
Of course all our good works are by Christ in us, I might add  :)

John 10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you and you did not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

1Peter 2:12  having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of His visitation, seeing your good works.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
