It’s a hot summer day and you’ve decided to give away some cold bottles of water to people in your town. You don’t stop and offer the couple sitting in their air conditioned Mercedes a bottle and you bypass the many people dining at restaurants along the street. Are you being uncaring and insensitive? Nope! You’re saving the ‘gift’ you have to offer for someone who needs it…someone thirsty. The same principle is helpful when sharing your faith and is the topic of today’s ‘Readables‘ entry.
Chris Walker, who heads up Evangelism Coach and has been featured here before, wrote an article titled “What Does Spiritual Thirst Look Like” and it sure seems like a Readable to me. He starts by sharing how a pastor he had been coaching viewed sharing the gospel. “His image of personal evangelism was all about making a monologue presentation, rather than a conversation centered around a person’s spiritual thirst.”
Chris then explains what spiritual thirst can look like and how we can utilize our awareness of it to more effectively communicate the message of salvation. If I haven’t made you want to read his article by now, that’s OK, because you’re probably not ‘thirsty’ for this type of evangelism assistance. Maybe you might be better off checking out some of these other categories on this site.
