Sharing the bread
“‘Well, how do you evangelize, then, if you don’t try to convince people of truth?…’
‘Demonstration must accompany proclamation, I guess you could say. But there’s more. Instead of saying, ‘Hey, they’re wrong and we’re right, so follow us,’ I think we say, ‘Here’s what I’ve found. Here’s what I’ve experienced. Here’s what makes sense to me. I’ll be glad to share it with you, if you’re interested.’”
“‘I think of it like a dance…I hear the music of the gospel, and my friend doesn’t, so I try to help him hear it and move with it. And like a dance, I have to ask if the other person wants to participate.’”
From A New Kind of Christian by Brian McLaren
