I thoroughly enjoyed this video. FWIW, my two takeaways:
o "Have you ever been to a bad movie? Do you still watch movies?"
o "How will they know unless someone is sent to them? (I.e., let you be the someone who shares the Gospel of Salvation that is Jesus Christ to that unsaved person.)
P.S. I've been witnessed or been involved in on-line conversations whereby some "Christians" say that it's wrong or judgmental to judge someone's salvific status.
I sometimes respond (not exactly, but the gist): "By the Great Commission, you have to judge someone's salvific status. Judge. Salvific. Status. That judgment or discernment will drive your Great Commission conversation. You, whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, have to be a Fruit-Inspector with your conversational questions and as an observer of behavior. The sheer fact that you're sharing the Gospel, already indicates that you believe and have judged that the other person is unsaved."
My gut feeling is this:
Many Christians don't evangelize, nor do they want to. They fear the bugaboo of being seen as judgmental. Judgmentalism is a great sin. Secondly, some Christians don't like evangelists because they hear from their unsaved friends and family that their unsaved friends and family were offended by some "pushy" evangelists.
