Title
Lifestyle Evangelism
Scripture
So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.(Acts 18:3)
Devotional
The apostle Paul found great friends and partners in Aquila and Priscilla. They were more than instramentl in his ministry. His relationship with them was originally formed because of mutual interests. They were both tentmakers. Their likemindedness in a trade transferred into the furtherance of the gospel. Here we find a strong example of lifestyle evangelism. The best people to reach are those with whom we have things in common. There is an automatic source of conversation. There is a natural language link. Therefore, a great source of outreach is within your area of expertise-your occupation. The people that you work with are excellent prospects for the kingdom. However, if your testimony is not exemplary, you may have a hard time reaching them. Therefore, your attitude and conduct are to be consistent with the gospel. Your work ethic and loyalty will in itself be an open door to your lifestyle evangelism.Daily Reading
Act 18:1-28, Psa 83:9-18
