We come into the midst of the church not so we can show how right we are, but because we all know that we need one another. We need the encouragement of one another. We need to grow together in this transforming of our minds. And so we invite people as a part of evangelism into the midst of the church, to take this journey together in the midst of this community of believers. Where we come regularly, we can remind one another of those things that we might tend to forget if we stayed separated from one another.
Evangelism is a series of invitations.
It begins with the invitation to a loving relationship to a risen Christ. Then comes the invitation to a life-long journey of learning to harmonize your ways of thinking and doing with the teaching of Scripture. This spiritual journey must take place in a supportive community of believers. But it's always an invitation. It can never, by its very nature, be a hard sell, because really, evangelism is inviting people to fall in love with God and then to live out their life demonstrating that they have that love in them.
