What is Evangelism?
Evangelism is NOT...
 The Subjectivity
of Personal Testimony
- Many share
their testimony in a way that merely tells others of the benefits that have
attended their conversion. This is not evangelism, and will lead to a typical
"good for you" response.
- Personal testimonies
must communicate the claim of the gospel on the lives of the listeners if
evangelism is to happen through them.
The Surface
of Social Action
- Some people
mistake social action or political involvement for evangelism. But the horizontal
problems we face in society are often only symptoms of a breach in our vertical
relationship with God.
- Evangelism
that stops with meeting felt needs, helping out at the soup kitchen, or being
politically active is not evangelism at all because it fails to clearly communicate
the gospel and the need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
