The church as a whole has strayed quite far from biblical evangelism; that is, sharing the Gospel in the way that Jesus did, the way the Apostle Paul did, and the rest of the disciples and prophets in Scripture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Evangelism is when the Gospel, which is good news, is preached or presented to all people.
There is too much theology in the Church now, and too little of the Gospel.
The Gospel has to be the norm.
Opportunities for sharing the gospel are everywhere.
Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, yet today many in church are chasing after the world - not to win them, but to be like them.
Those who embrace belief in Christ Jesus are bound together in Him, in a real yet incomplete way, in his Body, the Church. Faith is never a solitary activity, nor can it be simply private. Faith in Christ always draws us into a community and has a public dimension.
The first two lessons, which we learned early in our efforts to be good member missionaries, have made sharing the Gospel much easier: We simply can't predict who will or won't be interested in the Gospel, and building a friendship is not a prerequisite to inviting people to learn about the Gospel.
Evangelism is selling a dream.
The poor evangelize you about what's important and what is the Gospel, and that that's where the joy is.
The heart of the gospel is that you don't know Jesus without the witness of the church. It's always mediated.
