Hungry for more of God...chapter 3

Chapter 3

"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 what we don't know. The key is authenticity and obedience, not a doctorate in theology" (Rebecca Maley Pippert - page 33)

*questioning the "why"* "Why are you here?" (page 34)

*sharing the gospel* "...it can be done if one takes a good approach to a difficult situation. This is important because one aspect of being hungry for God is the desire to tell other people about him." (page 34)

"If our experience with God has left us hungry for more, we want to tell others about the Savior." (page 35)

"What shall I do? asks one...Why, do the first thing that comes to hand, but do get to work for your Master!...Some of the greatest enterprises have sprung from very little causes; the forest of the mightest oaks in the world was once only a handful of acorns. Oh, that we might all do that we can for Him who laid down His life for us, and who still continues to abide in us, to be our joy and our strength." (Charles Spurgeon - page 37)

"But we serve a Savior who multiplies the effect not only of a few loaves and fishes" (page 37)

"Telling what we know about God can be a liberated approach to witnessing because it means we don't have to make a full-scale presentation of the gospel in order to communicate something important" (page 37)

"Meeting felt needs is often the key which unlocks the opportunity to share Christ" (Joseph Aldrich - page 39)

"When you understand that in evangelism you're bearing witness to the God of the gap, it becomes less daunting." (page 42)
