Nothing Up His Sleeve: Another Positive Example

I love to read the posts on EV Tales. But, on the other hand, I always cringe, because he reminds me of what we ALL should be doing as Christians, something that I’m not doing enough of. Steve Sanchez gets out there and evangelizes! No tricks up his sleeve. He doesn’t resort to gimmicks, he doesn’t try to be relevant, he doesn’t lure them in with worldly things. Nope, he goes out there and shares the Gospel with people (but not after first showing them that they are sinners in need of the Gospel by holding the Law up to them). The closest thing to a gimmick that he uses are reminders of our mortality, like the great use of the dummy that you can see on his blog (that almost got them arrested).

This guy is my role model. I want to get to the point that I and the people in my congregation go out and share the Gospel. I don’t want to be content with clever tricks, marketing, “outreach” of the worldly kind; instead, I want to go, just telling friends, neighbors, co-workers and even strangers about the Gospel and allowing the Word to convert people.  I think that when we in America do this we will see true conversion with true converts.

I want you to watch the video here of a person responding to the Gospel and giving their life to Jesus:

If this doesn’t move you to go share your faith then I’m not sure what will.

Thanks Steve for being such a positive example to us of the Word preached faithfully, and thanks for inspiring me to share my faith more. You remind me of Paul preaching in the forum!
