This web site approaches the problem of reluctance with the assumption that every Christian has a new nature.  The new nature is eager to share the gospel.  But many Christians run into blockades when the chance to share comes up.

Moreover, many reading this have a burden of guilt.  For years they have heard their pastor say "now go and tell others."  They agree that they should -- they even want to - but they know that they often have not done it.

     This page is not meant to give you a new nature -- you already have one.
     This page is not meant to motivate you -- your new nature is already motivated.
     This page is not meant to add to your burden of guilt -- but to lift it.
     This page does provide ways for you to remove the blockades you have run into. 

Please click on any of these reasons people commonly express as to why they do not share their faith.  The suggestions given are meant to show you you that you don't need to postpone witnessing just because of these problems:

I'm not sure what to say.
I don't know how to get started.
I'm afraid I'll offend the other person -- It might ruin our relationship.
I'm afraid I'll be rejected.
I'm  afraid I'll represent Christianity in an inept way -- making the person less likely to accept it.
They know my failures -- they'll think I'm being hypocritical.
They'll raise an objection that I can't answer
How can I find people to witness to?
