How many times have you received that look, (like you had escaped from the asylum), when you begin talking about God's love and eternity through faith in Jesus. The better question might be; How many times have we been silent, so that we don't receive that look?
We coolly say we don't want to scare anyone away or make them angry, never to speak to us again. I suspect more believers are scared of embarrassment. It can be an awkward. I know we have to be wise during that conversation. Regardless, there has to be a conversation. No one spends eternity with God, because you were polite or we let them borrow a yard tool. Where are you going to scare them away to? Hell #2.or #3? Let them now, see and hear the sermon as well. Talk the talk and walk the walk. We don't have to be weird, just a light in the darkness.
"For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel, not with wisdom of words. lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God....For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1Corinthians 1: 17,18, 25
