As a Christian I periodically go on guilt trips for my lack of proselytizing. These bouts are often brought on by seeing others going out or calling others to go out and witness at Wal-Mart or something. I've never gone and done it, so that makes me a bad Christian right?
Well, maybe. I have known for a long time that I am not an evangelist. However, that doesn't mean that I shouldn't be sharing my faith. Yesterday I realized what, I think, is the correct balance. As with all my ideas this isn't original to me, but it connected with me in a unique way.
I have access to a unique set of people in a unique way. So while I shouldn't feel guilty for not being a street corner evangelist I should feel guilty for not being a clear witness to my unique circle of influence.
So no more guilt about not going to Wal-Mart to preach, but no more cover for blending in a work either.
