My Philosophy on Evangelism

The word “evangelism” can arouse various feelings. Historically, practices of “evangelism” disrupted lives and caused deaths around the world. Today some would still attribute it to imperialism and intolerance. However, “evangelism” has also been known to bring hope, healing, and even financial confidence to many unfortunate lives. Essentially, this simple word unravels many complex definitions. Fundamentalists hold to its brighter meanings, while many skeptics frown from even the sound of it.

As Christians, we also know that the love of Christ exists. He helped thousands of people in the past, and He can heal countless more in the future. With such reasons, we should never tire from sharing the Gospel. It is a life-changing news to announce. Despite what some may say or feel about evangelism, it is something necessary. It is the greatest hope for all humans. Though some have applied it terribly in history, it should not prevent us from accomplishing its message.
