Text: Romans 8:8-15
Christians say, "I try to live my faith out in such a way that I don't have to use words." But that's a bunch of BS. Paul always talks about sharing the gospel in terms of speaking it. The truth is, we're just afraid of coming off as 'one of those Chrsitians who shoves the bible down people's throats' or we're afraid of rejection.
The real problem is that we are pendulous. We are afraid of swinging to one extreme - being too forward. so we swing to the other extreme - being pansies. But there is a happy medium.
What if sharing the gospel was as simple as telling someone else what Jesus has done in your life?
Also, Paul didn't run into Rome and 'Jesus Juke' everyone there. In the beginning of his letter he confesses that he's praying for an opportunity to come to them to share the gospel (v. 10). What if we prayed for an opportunity to share the gospel with people in our lives who don't know Jesus. or simply prayed that God would connect us with more people who don't know him. Just a thought.
