Topic: Witnessing

Notes:
- While we were sinners, Christ died for us; perfect model of how we should live, to sacrifice our lives for someone else
- People assume the role of the judge: Jonah, James and John in Samaria
- Story of man in mall, man at Disney; misrepresenting Christ, no love
- We preach the gospel with words, but often not with our life
- Others blend into the world: Peter denied Jesus
- Man at General Assembly upset that world was getting into the church
- Ministering to waitress during week of conference; there is never a time to rest from witnessing
- When we find people in crisis we need pause our lives to love them
- Ministering in Harley bar
- John Grisham novels sold by word of mouth
