a challenging task
(plowing a frozen, obstructed field
with inadequate equipment)

“Some fear witnessing
because they don’t feel confident enough
in their persuasive powers or their ability
to answer all imaginable objections to the gospel.
But the power for evangelism
is not in our ability; it is in His gospel.
Don’t doubt the power of God
to add His blessing upon your words
when you speak of Christ.”
- Donald Whitney

“Since Scripture imparts salvation,
effective evangelism depends
on the faithful proclamation of the Word.
God will prepare the soil and bring forth the fruit.
We must be faithful to plant the seed.”
- John MacArthur
