1st March 2010 by Claire Hill

I remember one day when I was about 15 I was on my way to school and a man jumped in front of me and began to read to me from the book of Revelation.

He was wearing a huge sandwich board with ‘Turn or burn' or ‘It's Jesus or hell' or something like that written on it and was carrying a megaphone.

I tried to explain to him (excitedly) that I knew Jesus and loved him and was very passionate about others knowing him too, but he wasn't having a bar of it. He continued reading and shouting at me.

Good evangelism?

St Francis of Assisi once said that we should:

"preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words"

and I've always loved this. In other words, our lives should be our loudest testimony. We should live lives that are so generous, so different to the way the world lives and so spirit-filled that people recognise Jesus in us.
