The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Sharing the Gospel
I’m a bona fide crank. Just ask my wife. Or children.
I can be a dreadful beast on weekends. A moody eccentric in the evening. A sullen grouch in early morning car trips.
I grit my teeth when someone interrupts reading time.
Snap when asked in the middle of the night to get a cold glass of water for a feverish child.
Bang the desk when distracted from work.
It’s not so much that I’m a man-hater. Or that I’m obsessed with God’s wrath. Or that my life’s miserable.
No.
It’s simply because I’m selfish. Narcissistic. Self-centered.
And I was like this for most of my life until someone introduced me to Jesus.
My Best Advice for Sharing Your Faith
All joking aside, sharing the redemptive message of Jesus Christ is one of the most sobering elements of your faith.
The world sleeps in ignorance. Sin calls for their punishment. And you are entrusted with the task of awakening them.

I wanted to say something nice about how you are not a crank. But I can’t stop giggling.
Not so much help, am I?

Why’d you wait so long to visit? I’ve missed you dearly. I’ve longed to see you so bad that it’s hurt deeply and I wasn’t sure you loved me anymore. 
Thank you for reviving me.
My pastor used to say this about not sharing the Gospel:
“If you don’t tell the world about Jesus, you’re basically telling them to go to hell.”
Very sobering thought, I think.
