…I’d have to be persuaded as much to spread the Gospel as I would need to be persuaded to tell y’all about my favorite pizzeria, my favorite Italian restaurant, or my favorite chocolate and ice cream shop(pe). Or, as much as a newly engaged girl needs to be persuaded to show you her ring, to use another picture.

If we’re driving people, persuading people, to share the Gospel, I dare say we’re doing it wrong.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
