Often that's what crosses my mind after an opportunity to share Christ with someone slips by me. The frustration is similar to when I am trying to repair something without the right tool. Can you relate?
To do a good job at fixing cars, a mechanic makes sure that he or she has the tools necessary to do many repairs on a variety of vehicles.
The same could be said for evangelism. Each situation we encounter is slightly different and might require a specialized tool to be effective. Just as repairing cars requires an understanding of the tools needed for foreign and domestic vehicles, so too must we understand where the people are coming from. Also, when introducing people to Jesus we sometimes only have a few minutes with them, while other times we might have a lifetime to spend together. Regardless of the situation, God's job for us is to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15).
GoodSeed is all about equipping people with effective tools. If you are like me, wanting to be better equipped to introduce people to the God of the Bible, then check out the great selection of Bible tools available at www.goodseed.com
