I get fearful all the time when I preach in a university or get up on a box or just even witness to someone one-to-one sitting next to them on a plane.
I handle my fears by not thinking of myself, but thinking of that person.
And that's what the scriptures do.
They liken us to firefighters.
Book of Jude, others making a difference, having compassion, pulling them from the fire, hating the garment spotted by the flesh.
So the key is just to love people, be concerned about people's eternal salvation.
Yeah, this is going to sound like a boast, but it's not.
I've been on over 2,000 flights and never once have I not witnessed to the person sitting next to me.
And you say, that's remarkable.
No, it's not.
That's biblical evangelism.
How can I not be concerned about this person who's sitting next to me?
I relate in one of my teachings where I was on a plane and a woman sat next to me and I thought I should witness to her.
And I thought, well, I just preached to 500 young people last night.
God doesn't expect me to do one-to-one.
So I leaned back and I was reading Pilgrim's Progress.
I began drinking my orange juice care of the airline.
And suddenly I thought, imagine if I was on my way to hell and didn't know it.
And this woman couldn't be bothered sharing the way of salvation with me.
Oh, she was too scared to talk to me.
