This certainly applies to sharing our faith. We must get back to simply going about our lives and sharing Christ as we do so.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, Southern Baptists (of which I am one) tend to think that we are very biblical. However, in most SBC churches there absolutely HAS to be an invitation at the end of the service.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info. about the books.<BR/><BR/>EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-56370748449810878922008-02-20T15:07:00.000-05:002008-02-20T15:07:00.000-05:00Eric:I'm not sure if you've just been away from th...Eric:<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if you've just been away from the computer and haven't had a chance to post it, or if somehow it didn't work right, but I tried to post yesterday.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you wholeheartedly on #6, and I feel much better knowing that I'm not the only one who sees that. I wonder if believers have stopped being as evangelistic b/c of the addition of end-of-the service invitations? Perhaps they think that it's the preacher's job, so they stop witnessing. I'm not against end-of-the service invitations, but when I read the Book of Acts, it's definitely not the norm.<BR/><BR/>There's a book called <I>God's Greatest Passion</I> that's about evangelism that you might be interested in (godsgreatestpassion.com). Also, Mark Cahill wrote a book called <I>The One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven</I> on evangelism. I've read the former, but not the latter.00https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537409519473805118noreply@blogger.com
