Since our minds continue working all the time, our silent thoughts and prayers can constantly be offered to him in a running dialogue.”

“Our problem in evangelism is not that we don’t have enough information—it is that we don’t know how to be ourselves. We forget we are called to be witnesses to what we have seen and know, not to what we don’t know. The key on our part is authenticity and obedience, not a doctorate in theology. We haven’t grasped that it really is OK for us to be who we are when we are with seekers, even if we don’t have all the answers to their questions or if our knowledge of Scripture is limited.”

“The problem stems from our great difficulty in believing that God is glorified in our utter humanity rather than in our spiritually programmed responses.”
