Pre-evangelism

I'm of the opinion of Peter Bolt (Up front section of June 2010 the Briefing) who gives a blatant opinion of those who beat around the bush in really what is, never getting to the gospel. We're talking about pre-evangelism - the courting stage of telling some what the gospel is.

It is interesting to observe the techniques and methodologies that people devised to simply tell someone the gospel. It comes from a sensitivity that in my opinion is a clever means of resistance to God's work. Whilst it is good in intent and strategy, I wouldn't be surprised it is actually never amounts to anything but a good friendship.

Now by God's grace I have been put in this predicament as I start my new job. It wages on my mind everyday, when can I tell someone the gospel? Do I have to right to tell someone the gospel, when I just started out? What about my probation period. Religion and faith in the workplace is a no no, so the corporate world tells us, but when you think of the arguments that go in the office I don't know how it is any different. Please pray I can have many conversations about God with them!

So get straight to the point. Make sure everyone knows you are a devout Christian and above all trust that God is in control and doing everything!
