A small group from my church met today in our training centre to talk about talking about their faith to those outside the faith.
It was a short session on developing an approach to using normal language for the gospel.
It went well, but here's the astonishing thing:
I have been an active member of a Christian gathering in one place or another for over 40 years. In no church I've participated in across the four countries they've been in has anything similar been done!
All 'evangelical' churches, but evidently left the skill of personal gospel talk (1 Peter 3:15) to happenstance: so it mostly didn't happen, or it was up to the paid guy.
Now, a real evangelical church would be routinely helping people develop the skills and knowledge to communicate the gospel to their friends. So, I guess there are almost no truly evangelical churches!
