God’s Word has always been His chosen instrument to create, convict, convert, and conform His people.

I don't see a clerical class in the New Testament to which evangelism has been delegated. Preaching is not the only way to evangelize; it can happen in everyday conversations too. And you don't need a special gift to witness to the Lord in these situations.

Unfortunately, many of our churches calibrate their life to these nominal Christians. The predictable result is that you get fake, hypocritical churches that confuse the message of the gospel and make it hard for others who are trying to do genuine evangelism.

If you are not offending people, then you are not an evangelist.

There is no gospel without the offence. This is God's wisdom. It never seems sensible to us in our flesh.

Our fears lie to us about how important they are.

An evangelist no more imposes his views on others than a pilot imposes his views on his passengers when he lands a plane on a runway. I bet the passengers are glad!
