Too Important Not to Share
A Mercedes TV commercial a few years ago showed a Mercedes crashing into a concrete wall during a safety test? An engineer in a white lab coat walks over after the crash and kneels down to examine the damage, which is minimal. A reporter then asks the engineer about Mercedes' energy absorbing car body. After the engineer tells all about the unique design, the reporter asks him why Mercedes doesn't enforce their patent on the design, a design evidently copied by several other companies because of its success.
"The engineer then replied matter-of-factly, 'Because some things in life are too important not to share.'
How true this is. There are many things in life that fall into this 'too important not to share category.' Advances in science, in medicine, in technology. But all of these pale in importance to that of sharing the gospel."1
As Billy Graham said, "I am convinced the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God's love for them in Christ."
Whenever I eat at a restaurant, I always leave one of my business witness cards with the tip, and whenever the opportunity arises, without being pushy, I ask the person I am visiting with if I may give them one of my Good News cards. The card has the website address of your "Good News for Yourtown" website, that, as you have seen has links to many helpful articles including a link to the clear gospel message, "How to Be Sure You're a Real Christian—without having to be religious." The witness cards are designed to match the "Good News for Yourtown" website.
I've never had anyone refuse to accept the card I offered them.
This is a very easy, attractive, and non-offensive way to witness for Christ. It is a simple way to get almost everyone in your church involved in witnessing for Christ and sharing the message of your church.
Using a service (or volunteers in your church) to place attractive door hangers on every front door in your community is also a very simple, non-threatening, and effective way to invite people to visit your "Good News for Yourtown" website and therein invite them to visit your church.
It is true, the gospel message of Jesus Christ is far too important not to share.
