A witness is responsible to tell someone what they've heard and seen.

Live it
There are as many approaches to evangelism as there are rooms to teach it. But the truth is we're simply called to witnesses of what we've seen. This is as easy as explaining what has transpired in our life since Jesus came it and how someone else can enjoy the same relationship. Of course, there's a need to explain the Gospel, but for someone truly having a relationship with Jesus, that should be easy and welcomed. But, it's true that not everyone will welcome what we have to say.

The prophet Jeremiah knew something about witnessing and rejection. When commanded by King Jedikiah to tell the whole truth of what God told him, Jeremiah knew the futility of saying anything. He said, "Even if I give you counsel, you will not listen."And how many times have we used that excuse? How many times have we kept quiet because we felt confident our words would not be welcomed? It's time for us as Christians, to acknowledge that how our witness is received is not our responsibility, but God's. Maybe Nike's advertised slogan of "Just Do it," is better spiritual advice than worldly?

Pray it
I'm equipped and ready and I want to share what you've done in my life. What I ask from you is opportunity and confidence. And I'll leave the result to you.
