One elective class we offer at Wooster Grace is "Way of the Master." Pastor Ivanildo has a passion for sharing Christ. He makes many friends and shares Christ with them.
One of the obstacles to sharing your faith is fear of rejection or retribution. But I came across a unique take on sharing my faith from Justin Taylor's blog, "Between Two Worlds." He posts a video clip of Penn Jillete, from the magician duo, Penn & Teller. His post provides a great transcript. If you do not want a transcript then you can see it on YouTube.
I find myself challenged to share because I care, not because I have to. I may feel like I don't want to share my faith. But compassion is my motivation, not pity. So I pray that God helps me to share Christ with all.
Penn's words may feel caustic. But I think he's right in challenging the Christ-follower to be true to your convictions and to proselytize. I wonder what you think. How much do you have to hate people to not share Christ?
