I often find that God convicts us through a seemingly mistake. But it's really His way to prepare us for a future encounter. It seems that you might be led to prepare yourself with a future encounter. This might be His way of touching someone's life through you.

It would be a great learning experiance, maybe not so much to mature you for effective witnessing with These particular groups, but I'm sure it would help witness in general. I find that there are many new believers in church when sitting at a bible study or small group who's eyes just brighten up when they hear a mature Christian talk passionatly and authoritivly about our Lord.

This opens up a question that I have. I'm not sure if I should start a new thread, but I'll go ahead and ask it here. I wonder how much modern evangelicals overuse the great commision in our country. A country where the Gospel isn't foreign. I fully see the importance of spreading the Gospel during the Apostolic age and in 3rd world countries but as for our country, I have asked myself often how much is God really wanting me to be actively involved in this. Don't get me wrong, I'm very passionate about spreading the word. But there was a time and I still find myself I think going a little overboard. To the point where I believe that I turn people off instead of encouraging them. So If anyone has any opinions on this, I feel that it relates a little to the topic at hand?

Y.B.I.C,

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
