Evangelism paradigms shift from time to time. I admit I am far more relational in my approach to evangelism than event driven. In my circles, it’s almost crazy. We’re so driven by numbers and “big days.”

This article by Mark Galli is refreshing to me. Aggravating to others, I’m sure, but refreshing to me.

This quote is powerful:

Second, we can do what Jesus told us to do. He did not tell us to market our neighbors, but to love them. That means refusing to treat them as potential customers or clients who need to be talked into something. What made us think non-Christians would enjoy that type of relationship with us in the first place? Instead, we are called to love, to take the initiative to get to know others, to not hold their sins against them, to be generous with our time and goods, to be faithful and kind, and so forth.

So, here is to a SUPER SUNDAY… and a great Monday… and a significant Tuesday where we can interact with people all around us and see what the Spirit may just do through an “ordinary” conversation.
