Doing An Evangelism Talk, Have A Question

[Refresher]

@Open7 Don't forget people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.   Reaching out in friendship to our neighbors.   When they have illness or troubles, asking if we can pray with them.   Often praying with them in person can be used by the Holy Spirit to touch their hearts.    Even small kindnesses can be used by God to touch them....kindness is often lacking in the world, and people often need that.

Super amen Sis Debp, Kindness is the key to win the soul for Christ.

Hi all, I’m doing a short talk on evangelism soon. I wouldn't consider myself an evangelist in the sense that I go up to people and explain the gospel every day. But I am more experienced as being more of a passive evangelist in that everyone I meet I make know to them I am Christian, talk about it as much as I can, with the hopes of leading them this way.

Would you still consider this as evangelical? I feel I can talk more on this subject than I can on more direct evangelism.

 

Thanks

Well, in what context?

If you are talking about a church that teaches evangelism, and going out on the corner and telling people Jesus saves, then no, what you are doing isn't that.

But not everyone is called to be that guy.

I don't have a problem with your version of evangelism.   Similar to you, I typically have it known that I am Christian.  Then from there, when people ask me why I'm a Christian, I tell them.

Now depending on how people ask me, and what they ask me, I'll argue for the truth of the Bible.  However, I never let them get wrapped up in an argument.

For example "well if you believe X, then that is just silly, and you are anti-science!"

Don't argue with people like that.  You respond "Yup, I'm silly, and I'm going to Heaven!".

But when they are saying you are anti-science, and all this other non-sense, they are not interested in what you have to say, they just want to mock you.   And I simply don't deal with that.  I just move on.

But I think that's a perfectly fine way to tell people about the Lord.

Hi, I'm way late to the party, but no the less I will add a postmortem comment for consideration.

 There is no such thing as evangelism without sharing of Christ Jesus at the cross at Calvary, and what He did  there. Simple as that. Having a good lifestyle is of absolutely no value, for it is no different from many sincerely wonderful people that live a good lifestyle and may have no religion at all. The difference is not in one's lifestyle, but is in what Jesus did. That is what the Christian  is to bear witness to, and not that the Christian is somehow a superior being to those that have not as yet been called specifically by the Holy Spirit to  see, know, and bow to Jesus as their Lord God and savior.

The self presumed Christian that cannot and/or will not seek to share of Jesus at the cross may well not even be Christian. For they will rather not praise their own presumed to be Lord and personal savior to the unsaved world unless first asked to do so by an unsaved person.  God does not raise up hoarders of salvation, He raises up those He has selected for the very purpose of praising  Him in all that they do, and doing all  to His glory.

Sitting at home thinking what a good Christian am I doesn't cut it.

It doesnt matter how you have conversation with people about faith. If you are spreading the message of Christ through conversations i wish you the best of luck. Some people will come to Christ on call but others will only come to Christ if you really engage with them in deep conversations. I wish you good luck, and spiritual growth and even more insight into the word of God.
