Is it okay to make attempts to share the Gospel every Saturday, or am I to make attempts to share the Gospel daily? I did try to share the Gospel daily with strangers, but then I felt as though I wasn&#8217;t doing enough because I only managed to tell one person each day about Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to have it every Saturday because I thought it was a great day to share the Gospel. There is no work or anything like that. I am also struggling because I feel I cannot use my art, animation, and storytelling to share the Gospel because I would be focusing on trying to force my abilities rather than sharing the Gospel. I am confused and even broken, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Please, I need help.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Answer:<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit confused because you are approaching sharing the Gospel as a work task when it should be a way of life. See\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavistachurchofchrist.org\/cms\/ways-to-find-the-lost\/\">Ways to Find the Lost<\/a>. The point is that as we go about our daily lives, doing the things that we normally do, we watch for opportunities to tell people about Christ and how to improve their lives. It is fine if you want to designate a period of time when you put extra effort into reaching out to people, but it should be a more natural part of your life.<\/p>\n<p>As examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One Christian I know makes extra money driving for Uber. If the person is inclined to talk, he tries to steer the conversation to topics where he can mention solutions from the Bible or tell about how he came to the community and became a Christian.<\/li>\n<li>One Christian made such a radical improvement in his life that people started spontaneously coming up to him to ask him what happened and to ask him for help solving their own problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2>Response:<\/h2>\n<p>Thank you so much for your response! I will keep this in mind, and I hope you have a great day!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: I have a question about sharing the Gospel Truth.
