New believers are the lifeblood of the church. We can either evangelize or fossilize.

We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

I preach as a dying man to dying men.

I appreciate zeal and energy and passion but in our zeal, we just need to do it in a loving way and do it in a compassionate way, not share our faith in a robotic or mechanical way, but interact with the person, listen to them, and respond appropriately to their questions.

Heaven is not for good people, it's for forgiven people.

To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed.

I have read the last page of the Bible and I know for sure that we win in the end.
