Be Clear. When you share the gospel, think carefully about the language you use. One of the best conversations I can remember about evangelism was with a secular Jewish friend of mine. I was to give talks soon on a college campus about evangelism, and I decided to ask my friend about evangelism... I learned that in my previous conversations with him I had taken the meaning of words for granted. "God", "prayer", "heaven", "good", "moral", "judge", and "sin" are all words that I realized I had not done a good job defining. If I had simply gone through a quick, persuasive sales presentation and gotten him to say "yes!" he would have been saying yes to much that he didn't understand. We need to be both engaging and clear when we present the gospel.
