This is a great article about using apologetics versus using the Law on sinners and atheists. It’s by Ray Comfort and I think you will enjoy it:

My daughter D.D. and I visited Ray Comfort and his team on Saturday down at the Huntington Beach Pier where we encountered a bunch of evangelistic atheists.
One rather caustic man, Frank, challenged my daughter after I asked her this question in front of him: “D.D., is there a God?”
D.D. replied matter-of-factly, “Yes!”
With a smile, [...]

By Ray Comfort
I was talking with a friend who regularly runs “The Way of the Master” evangelism classes. He said that when the class starts there is always a good turnout, but when people realize that they have to actually go out and speak to the lost, he loses about a third of them. He [...]

Please copy and print this. Things have not changed that much since Spurgeon’s time. You will laugh and shake your head [...]

Here is an article from the editor of Charisma Magazine bemoaning the fact that so few Christians share their faith.
You don’t have to be a Charismatic or Pentacostal to agree with him. He writes:
It seems as if personal evangelism is a dying art. Fewer of us are taking our faith beyond familiar circles of [...]

As a counterpoint to John Shore’s seeker friendly-don’t evangelize-book (which I haven’t read and probably won’t), I thought it appropriate to post this article by a true and faithful witness…
..who doesn’t question God’s command to “Go!”:

William Lobdell, a Times staff writer, responded to a false Gospel presentation by asking Jesus into his heart at a weekend mountain retreat. Here’s what he wrote:
At the climactic service Sunday, Mike Barris, a pastor-to-be, delivered an old-fashioned altar call. He said we needed to let Jesus into our hearts.
With my eyes closed in prayer, [...]

Joe Average doesn’t think about creation, let alone the Creator. If you asked him if God had ever done anything for him, he probably couldn’t think of one thing.
He gets out of bed early in the morning in his beachfront home, makes some toast, and without much thought spreads on some butter and honey. [...]

This article by Ray Comfort is a real slap in the face…
In January 2000, a well-known ex-televangelist said on a worldwide TV talk show, “I believe that every person who died in the Holocaust went to heaven.” He was very sincere, and if he was seeking the commendation of the world, he surely got [...]

If you have ever preached in the open air, you will know that there are a number of fears you have to overcome. There is your own natural fear–that your mind may go blank and you will make a fool of yourself in front of a crowd of people. There’s the fear of being asked [...]
