Effective evangelism is like sex don't you think?
You have to be overflowing with love and joy, etc... to be able to truly sow the seed
we are shameful, but He has gently uncovered our nakedness, and embraced and filled us - so we overflow with joy (John 4)

Yes, Yes, Yes! In the words of Meg Ryan...
Too much 'evangelism' is more like a lecture series than a match-making with the Living God. I find that when I'm genuinely full of excitement and joy about something... a great football result for Everton or something 'important' in the news... then I start speaking to total strangers about it, with no sense of embarassment or fear. Yet... am I so spontaneous and joyful when I speak of Jesus?!?
