Oh No! Not Evangelism!

I was excited this morning to out witnessing to the streets of downtown Chattanooga. I was glad to be able to rub shoulders with people and do get my hands dirty talking to others about Jesus Christ. In my head I went through my list “Tracts – check, Bible – check, car keys – check, cell phone – check” Ok, so let’s go!

As soon as I stepped on the sidewalk a Jehovah’s Witness was no more than 20 yards away. I quickly grabbed my document detailing the false prophecies of the Watchtower. As soon as he made eye contact and smiled I engaged him in a conversation. Jehovah’s Witness really know their Bible and are really good at taking you down rabbit trails, so always stay on track when talking to them. It’s funny how when you prove that the Watchtower claims to be a prophet and that false prophecies have been spoken by the organization most will completely deny that! Please play for Clyde. That God will lift the fog of the Watchtower and open his eyes.

I also had the chance to speak with Roger at the bus stop. He was very friendly and allowed me a few minutes to talk to him. He told me that he was raised a Christian and still held to his Christian values but he knew that God would forgive him because he had done good things and his bad things were in the past. A few good questions/statements to this could be:

• How many good things do you have to do to be saved?
• Are you being good enough right now?
• Would a good judge forgive a rapist if his crime had been committed 30 years ago?
• If you were to murder one person but be nice to thousands more would a judge just let you go due to that fact alone?

Whether Roger agreed with me or not, I do not know, but I pray that God will move his heart. Today could be the day of salvation for someone but you must tell them about the Savior. Take his Word out of the comfort of our homes and churches and be faithful to our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
