People fuss about the guys that yell and scream on the street corners with Bibles in hand. I understand. They often look very angry. Other folks get squeamish when another talks about sharing Jesus with a stranger on an airplane. Others get antsy about using a two-question test to gauge someone's spiritual condition, followed by the sharing of Scripture. ---Meanwhile, many followers of Jesus expect their sub-par lifestyle to lead people to Christ on its own. Then, some dazed and confused on what way is not confrontational are conflicted and do nothing. ---So how do we share Jesus with others the right way? The Scripture is plain. We have to share the Gospel somehow. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?(Rom.10:14) ---People don't get saved unless someone shows them the way. Jesus is clearly the way found in Scriptures. We need to lovingly tell the people the truth. I certainly don't recommend yelling, screaming, or name-calling. Treat people as you would want to be treated. You do need to live a lifestyle in such a way that people would even consider your beliefs. People will listen to a person of integrity. People will listen if they see your love for others. But when compelled by the Holy Spirit to share Jesus with a stranger, just do it in his power. Always be ready to give witness of the hope that is in you. Take them to the Scriptures and let the Word of God speak. Stop making excuses and just do it. Your last resort...your parachute: invite them to church. They will hear the Gospel preached there. How will they know unless someone tells them? Yes, there are people in this country that have not heard.
