Top 10 Excuses

For not continuing my witness after today


2/18

1. Scared to get Rejected

What are we more worried about?

What God thinks about us or,

What man thinks about us?? What is the worst thing that can happen to

us when we share our faith?

They can kill us and send us to Heaven! Is

that such a bad thing?


3/18

2. Afraid of Losing a Friend

If I would die and go to Heaven and my

friend would die and go to hell, what

kind of friendship do we have?

If we are not eternal friends, are wereally friends at all?

They may say, He is the only friend that I

have got that is into this whole God andreligion thing.

They will realize that you are the only friend

that they have that cares where their soul

spends eternity.

3. They Have Already Heard

Repetition is very

valuable when it

comes to witnessing.

This might be the

perfect time for them.

You may be the one

who reaps the seed thatanother has planted!Paul Lafleur Witnessing in Olde Towne

4. I Dont Know How to Witness

That is why you are here! Didnt someone lead you

to Jesus? Transition the

conversation withsomeone: Can I ask you an

interesting question? Can I ask you a tough

question?

Luke 12:12 says, For theHoly Spirit will teach youin that very hour what youought to say.

5. I Have to Much to Do

What is more important? Studying for a test?

Your job?

Planning your vacation?

Making salvation bands or the bake sale atchurch?

Or

Preaching the Gospel to the lost that Jesus died for.


7/18

6. I am Just Lazy

How do you think God feels when I say I am lazy, butmultitudes of people die and go to hell every single day?

As a Christian, what is moreimportant than seeing your

home, your school, your city,

your state, your country, your

world coming to the savingknowledge of Jesus Christ?

Charles Spurgeon

The saving of souls, if a manhas once gained love to

perishing sinners and his

blessed Master, will be an all-

absorbing passion to him. Itwill so carry him away, that he

will almost forget himself in

the saving of others. He will

be like the brave firefighter,

who cares not for the scorchor the heat, so that he may

rescue the poor creature on

whom true humanity has set

his heart.

Romans 10:13-17

For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord

shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him

in whom they have not believed? And how shall

they believe in Him of whom they have not

heard? And how shall they hear without apreacher? And how shall they preach unless

they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful

are the feet of those who preach the gospel ofpeace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!

7. I Dont Know Enough

If it was a prerequisite for us toknow enough, could anyone ofus ever share our faith??

This is the one way that youwill learn the most about yourfaith!

You are saved and they arelost. Who knows more in

every single conversation? Memorize the 10Commandments


11/18

Charles Finney

If you do not make it a

matter of study, how

you may successfully

act in building up the

kingdom of Christ,

you are acting a verywicked and absurd

part as a Christian.

Oswald J Smith

Oh my friends, we are

loaded down with

countless church

activities, while thereal work of the

church, that of

evangelizing the

world and winning the

lost, is almost entirely

neglected!


13/18

8. They Wont Want to Talk About It

At the most 50% of

those we ask wont

get into aconversation.

This is a crazy world

we live in. Lost

people know that.They are curious as

to what is going on.


14/18

9. I Cant Answer Their Questions

That is a goodquestion, and I dontknow the answer.

Would you like toknow the answer?

Yes? What is youremail, address, phone

numberThis nowallows follow-up andshows that you care.


15/18

10. This is too Confrontational

Acts 18:28 for he (Paul)vigorously refuted the Jewspublicly, showing from theScriptures that Jesus is the

Christ. The Gospel is confrontational

We need to deliver the truth inlove.

It is better to leave a sinnerconvicted and angry, than tohave a decision withoutrepentance
