The Sin of Silence

Consider these challenging words from William Fay in his book, Share Jesus Without Fear:

“Did you know that as few as 5 to 10 percent of the people in an average church have shared their faith in the past year? That means 90 percent of us have chosen the sin of silence… If you and the members of your church have forsaken your duty to reach back into the world, I can promise you your church will start to divide, to backbite, and to fight over nonessential Christian issues like hymnal selection and carpet colors. You will become keepers of a Christian aquarium instead of fishers of men. Your church will be on the way to spiritual death. In fact, I can prophesy to any church or to any believer without fear of being in error that if you choose not to evangelize, individually or collectively, your church will fossilize.”

Are you guilty of the sin of silence? When did you last share the good news with someone who is lost?

Listen now to William Fay’s sermon, “The Sin of Silence.”
