I agree that this may be a very limited part of the story. And if it is the only story the congregation tells, evangelism suffers. Story telling should be about vision, hope and the future. We are not bold enough in telling about the grace of God we experience in Christ. We are not bold enough to tell about how we have been transformed. We fail in the kingdom message and life when our neighbors never hear the goodnews of salvation, (And see us being transfored).Brucenoreply@blogger.com
