One day a man named Bob had a great girlfriend called Shazza who was a doctor. They did all sorts of stuff together. They would hang out on weekends, and Shazza helped Bob with alot of his problems. You could say Bob owed her one... owed her alot atually.
Bob met a woman at work named Di. They enjoyed working together, having a few drinks after work and having good chats. But Bob never spoke about his girlfriend. Shazza knew all about Di, but Di didnt know anything about Shazza. He didnt want to ruin the relationship with Di so he thought hed keep quiet until Di would understand...
Then one day Shazza had enough and cut off all ties with Bob because Bob was ashamed of her even though Shazza had done so much for him. Then Di fell seriously ill and died.
Thats what evangelism these days is like and i hate it.
I hate how we use 'steps' to get people saved. I hate how we want to get people into this program to get them into this program before we can talk about God. Are we ashamed of God? How did Shazza feel? How does God feel?
To be really effective God needs to be in every part of our life. People these days DO BELIEVE in GOD!!! They may not like church, but a quick look at our culture will reveal people are craving some type of spirituality. hey are searching for Jesus but many will not find Him.
If you had the cure for AIDS what would you do? If you had the cure for sin, lonliness, depression, sickness, demon posession, and death etc what would you do?
