Witnessing
What I love about Dan Zimmerley and the group that came from Nashville is their passion for Jesus. The first time we invited Dan I expected him to come and teach us how to witness. You know I was expecting method and technique. Instead what we got was a weekend of passionate teaching about God and His Son Jesus. This time Dan brought six men, one of them was my dad. They are all walking with Christ. Each of them are growing and in love with God. Over the weekend we broke into small groups and went through six sessions. Overall I got one thing out of the weekend. The key to outreach in the church is being in love with Jesus- Period. We will share when we love Him. We’ll know what to share when we love Him. We will have the leading of the Spirit when we love Him. We will have the power of the Spirit when we love Him. When we don’t worship through witnessing it’s because we don’t love Him. We don’t need more programs or more teaching we need more love for our Savior. The bottom line is the church acts like a teen afraid to be seen with their parents- it’s pure immaturity. We need to grow up and all the programs in the world and all the training in the world can’t replace or even begin to compare with people who truly love Jesus. As a pastor I realize I don’t love Him with the passion I should and the result is I’m not sharing like I once did. My goal is simple- to fall back in Love with my Savior!
