The Simplicity of Sharing the Gospel

Fear comes in many forms: fear of the unknown, fear of man, fear
of failure, fear of rejection, and fear of confrontation to name a few.
Fears like these imprison and silence too many Christians. It seems
we have subconsciously allowed fear to masquerade as a legitimate
reason for silence. But Jesus rejects this excuse. His parable of the
talents explains how one servant actually buried his talent because
of fear (Matt 25:14-30). When the master returned, he rebuked him
severely, calling him “wicked” and “lazy!”
We must overcome our fears to share the gospel. So the next
question is, how? To answer that, here are four principles for
overcoming fear, followed by five tips for communicating the
gospel. Putting these points to practice will make us fearless and
effective soul winners.
