I opened a prayer meeting this evening (Wednesday) asking God to speak to us, to respond to our prayers. Later in that meeting I was meditating on equipping people to share the gospel and as you may know there is a plethora of books, programmes and training material that is intended to help Christian's in this task. A question swam around my head 'how do we share the gospel' and an answer was quickly forthcoming; with the gospel. The reality being that if the gospel is not only on our lips, but in our hearts and embedded deeply in who we are, our very being, then to share the gospel is a natural consequence of our existence. It seems a simple enough message, one that the early church thrived upon, perhaps it is something that the 21st century church should think about before it turns to the latest 'share the gospel quick' programme.
