Lifestyle Evangelism: Learning to Open Your Life to Those Around You by Dr. Joe Aldrich

Reaching Out in the 90s.

Being a witness for Christ isn't always easy. As believers, we are called to be "fishers of men.'

" But many Christians struggle with sharing their faith. And as people today become more guarded and less open, it can sometimes be difficult to find opportunities to witness.

EARN THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD

Christians worry about saying the wrong thing. Yet it is true that

"actions speak louder than words," especially when it comes to witnessing. And relationships are critical to building bridges of trust between believers and those who do not know Christ.

In most cases, Christians naturally find themselves drawn to other believers. But it is vital that we not separate ourselves from those who need our witness the most. Christ himself made a special point of socializing with nonbelievers. If we are to be like him, we must follow his example by showing men and women outside the church how much we care.

FINDING COMMON GROUND

There isn't a more natural way to show Christ in your life than by becoming someone's friend. So no matter who your neighbors, coworkers or relatives are, let Lifestyle Evangelism show you how to establish common ground and build relationships that can be powerfully used by God!
