The values of the kingdom of Jesus Christ are upside down and backwards when compared to the values of this world. Against the backdrop of a world where might is right—where we press our cause and make our case—Jesus commends to us the value of childlike humility. He calls each of us to have that childlike humility as we approach him, as we approach the ugly reality of temptation and sin, and as we approach one another.

Sharing your faith doesn’t have to mean having the perfect answer to every question about Christianity or knowing exactly what to say. Christian witness is about showing and sharing the love of Jesus with the people around you. But how can you talk about your faith without coming across as judgmental, pushy, or disconnected from where someone is? The Bible calls us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and that starts with the way we live, listen, and treat others.

When we approach evangelism with kindness, humility, and genuine love, we create opportunities for meaningful conversations about God and the gospel. We may not see an immediate response, and we may not have every answer, but we can faithfully plant seeds of faith and trust God with the results. A Christ-centered witness isn't about winning an argument—it's about pointing people toward Jesus in a way that reflects His love.

A Kinder Way to Witness

By Alexis A. Goring

Bible Reading:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:34-35 (NIV)

One evening, as I was leaving the building where I worked in Washington, D.C., I saw a man standing in the middle of walking traffic, holding a megaphone and shouting at everyone as they passed by. He was telling them to stop sinning and was using a lot of words that only Christians who know the Bible understand. I also noticed that he had an angry demeanor. I walked away thinking, “That’s not how you get people

Dr. Stanley walks through what the biblical pattern of giving looks like.

How do I take responsibility for my past actions without wallowing in shame? Does God hurt us when He disciplines us? I'm going to be leading a small group this Fall. What is the best series on your website to start with?

Sarah knew God’s promise, but she struggled to trust His timing. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the danger of excusing doubt, fear, and self-reliance instead of confessing them before God.

Sarah tried to accomplish God’s promise through human effort, and the result was pain and failure. Yet God did not abandon His promise. When Sarah turned from unbelief and trusted Him, Scripture testifies that she considered Him faithful.

This episode calls believers to:

True faith does not depend on human strength. It rests in the faithfulness of the Living God and believes that nothing is too difficult for the Lord.

Scripture Focus: Hebrews 11:11

 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
