Simon Edwards, Assistant Chaplain of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, says that in Acts 24 they talked about Jesus wherever they went. When we think of evangelism, we think of sermons, crusades and events. But in Acts the gospel spread through relationships. Why is it a challenge talking to our family, friends and work colleagues about our faith? Ephesians 6 says that we are in a spiritual battle. Satan doesn't want us to share the gospel with others. In the UK, with a massive Christian heritage, why is there so much pressure not to talk about our faith? There’s social pressure in Britain to keep our faith private. There is also an inner instinct of self-preservation - the fear of being rejected, of offending, of being misunderstood, or being thought of as strange; and then there is an underlying fear that God is not going to show up.
