Warrior 4 Jesus (post: 1503333) wrote:Christians are called to share God's love and hope and message to a dying, hurting world but there are many ways to serve God and the people around you. The Holy Spirit uses some people to spark an interest in Christ, others help lead a person to accept Him. Some are called to water the seed of faith. Then you have those who help to disciple new believers (incredibly important and often forgotten in favor of winning most converts to Christ). Not everyone is called to approach strangers on the street. We are all called to listen to those around us and provide hope but there are many different approaches. Your approach works for some people but in Australia many people would just blow you off or worse. You have to engage people you know and who trust you and don't see it as an ulterior motive to become a 'saved' statistic. Glory to God for what you're doing though, even if that approach isn't suited to everyone. You need to know your audience.

But it IS our job to spread the message of the good news, by actions and by words.
