Why More Christians Don't Witness
(This is a re-post from the early days when no one was reading my blog.)
"Religious faith should be a private thing. I don't want to be a religious fanatic."
"Mind your own business. You don't have any right to force your views on someone else."
"You're going to offend this person. Don't say anything."
"He'll think you're a fanatic."
"This person will say 'no' and I'll be embarrassed."
When it comes to sharing the Gospel, have you ever wrestled with these thoughts/feelings? If so, the folks at ShareYourFaith.org have a terrific article excerpted from Bill Bright's book Witnessing Without Fear. Click here to check it out!

Thanks for the link. Very helpful.
Please visit randomthoughtswithbk.blogspot.com. I have some questions about tracts on which I would appreciate your input.
Thanks again.
I felt more of those things when I was using a canned gospel approach. Now that I've just decided to be myself (that being a Christian who has Christ as a big part of my life) it is just natural. I think that forcing myself through the interactions using a more canned approach was helpful though as it forced me to overcome my own shyness.
