I am becoming increasingly convinced that we need to elevate the place of non-propositional evangelism (not at the expense of other forms of evangelism, but in tandem with them) in order to bring more persons into a living relationship with Jesus!

Of course, we need passionate discipleship as well!

The singer Andre de Villiers spoke of this as the work of the Holy Spirit as an ‘interior decorator’ – working from the inside out! I often explain it in this way… When I was 8 I didn’t like bathing much! I preferred getting muddy, dirty and then jumping into the pool! It used to drive my parents crazy. Then one day they couldn’t get me away from the deodorant, cologne etc.,! What had changed!? Well, I had met a young lady at 12 and fallen in love! The inner shift changed my outer behaviour.

So, I agree passion changes everything!
