A Bighearted Weekend
Spent a meaningful weekend with evangelist, Chris Duffett. I have come to greatly respect this man and his careful thinking and generous spirit. He encourages Christians to find courage in reaching out to others, in ways that gives them confidence in communicating Jesus and that are simple and effective.
It really hit me that we live in a society where people are, generally, shy and a bit scared of other folk. This is true for all categories of people, Christian or not. But people are lovely and precious. Chris' method of helping Christians to cross over that fear barrier, in order to communicate and express the love of God for people, is inspiring.
It leaves me with much to ponder and also implement. Expressing the Good News to others, that they might become disciples: it can never stop at 'theory level'. It is something to act upon for every one of us.
