Why is witnessing so anemic? Many believers are witnessing because they fell guilty if they don't. They go out on their own power and come back with nothing. Shouldn't it be different?
Our purpose is to give God glory. Sin has damaged our glorified condition. God so loved us that He gave His Son to restore that pre-fallen glory. His salvation is more than a trip to heaven. It is His Kingdom come upon this earth. (Read Romans 8:29-30)

Seeing the Great Need
There are billions of people who have never heard the gospel story. Believers are around them every day. Why aren't these believers concerned about those who have never heard. Are they bored with stories of people coming to know the Lord? Or could it be more fundamental? Do they see them? Why not?

What Does "Chosen by God" Mean?
We live in a world that accepts what their peers say. Thus, we only challenge the things that are in the minority opinion. We sometimes accept things that our friends say without checking out what the Bible says. There are many things that God does and many things that He will not do. In fact, some of those things He cannot do. This has nothing to do with His power. It has to do with who God is. For example, God is all knowing and cannot make a decision without knowing the results. What does that mean when we speak of being chosen? That's what this message deals with.

You Can Lead a Horse to Water
Those who know Christ also know it is the best decision of their lives. It makes no sense to those who refuse to accept Him as Lord and Savior. Why is that? Is it because they lack education or the proper environment? No, they resist the Holy Spirit. There are strong forces keeping people from this eternal decision. This is the topic of this message.

The Heart That Longs for the Salvation of Others
Most Christians never share their faith because they are afraid. That fear does not come from God. Maybe that's why evangelism programs have been followed do "religiously." So often, they focus on the scriptures that have been memorized without recognizing the person who is listening to them. What if we didn't have a program but simply loved people into the kingdom of God? What if we were less mechanical and more personal? What if our hearts were broken each time someone rejected the gospel? What if our hearts were truly elated when someone accepting Christ? That's where this next series of messages is going. Don't just listen to this one. Let's win people to Christ by loving them into the kingdom.
