1. Scared to get Rejected
What are we more worried about?
What God thinks about us or,
What man thinks about us?? What is the worst thing that can happen to
us when we share our faith?
They can kill us and send us to Heaven! Is
that such a bad thing?

2. Afraid of Losing a Friend
If I would die and go to Heaven and my
friend would die and go to hell, what
kind of friendship do we have?
If we are not eternal friends, are wereally friends at all?
They may say, He is the only friend that I
have got that is into this whole God andreligion thing.
They will realize that you are the only friend
that they have that cares where their soul
spends eternity.

6. I am Just Lazy
How do you think God feels when I say I am lazy, butmultitudes of people die and go to hell every single day?
As a Christian, what is moreimportant than seeing your
home, your school, your city,

world coming to the savingknowledge of Jesus Christ?

Charles Spurgeon
The saving of souls, if a manhas once gained love to
perishing sinners and his
blessed Master, will be an all-
absorbing passion to him. Itwill so carry him away, that he
will almost forget himself in
the saving of others. He will
be like the brave firefighter,
who cares not for the scorchor the heat, so that he may
rescue the poor creature on
whom true humanity has set
his heart.

Romans 10:13-17
For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him
in whom they have not believed? And how shall
they believe in Him of whom they have not
heard? And how shall they hear without apreacher? And how shall they preach unless
they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful
are the feet of those who preach the gospel ofpeace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!

Charles Finney
If you do not make it a
matter of study, how
you may successfully
act in building up the
kingdom of Christ,
you are acting a verywicked and absurd
part as a Christian.

10. This is too Confrontational
Acts 18:28 for he (Paul)vigorously refuted the Jewspublicly, showing from theScriptures that Jesus is the
Christ. The Gospel is confrontational
We need to deliver the truth inlove.
It is better to leave a sinnerconvicted and angry, than tohave a decision withoutrepentance
