Street evangelist on Dudley Street Wolverhampton

July 8, 2008 at 12:42 am (Christian reflexions) (Evangelism, wisdom, wolverhampton)

Ok I’m steeling something from Transforming grace Neil Robbie’s Blog Because he is smarter than me so check it out for more on this diagram.

 

Ok the people on Dudley Street who try to express their faith to people in Wolverhampton are in the Fundamentalist section as they have no wisdom. So really mostly they only need one thing to be better at connecting with people. Sometimes I would say I’m not dead center on that diagram and I don’t know many people who try to improve themselves. Neil Robbie in a conversation with me about evangelism in Wolverhampton said he would put those people in the fundamentalist section a short description of this position is ….

“If you have faith in Christ and the keep the law but are not wise you are a fundamentalist. You do not relate well to people outside your church or Christian sub-culture. You don’t understand the way the world around you works and so appear weird to people you meet.”

 

Now really we should try and use our wisdom as we deal with people and would recommend UCCF’s www.bethinking.org and www.theologynetwork.org to help with answering difficult question or to learn about question so that you may know more others point of view. (The fusion movement don’t help equip young Christian leaders lol ) for more on the Diagram to see were you fit look at Neil’s Blog Transforming Grace.

 

So in closing be wise. Look to relate to people where they are. I now that a lot of people laugh and mock these street evangelist but we most remember they are I brothers and sisters in Christ and God loves them and they are trying their best to bring the gospel to people. I hope we could have that sort of passion for telling people about Jesus.

Blessing
