DISQUS

I knew you were the idea guy.

What're some examples of ideas/actions you've come up with? My first inclination is bigger Bible, thump harder.

Also how do you consider active vs. passive, IE lifestyle evangelism vs streetcorner evangelism, that sort of thing?

The cliche answer for one of the words on one of my lines is prayer, especially in terms of seeing the Kingdom of God come into Jenn's Dad's life. I desperately want to see healing and restoration in his life, and yet I do not pray for it enough. I've started the habit of writing him letters to try and include in our life, since otherwise there is a physical and mental disconnect. Often I find myself too tired to write, but I know that I must write, consistently sharing with him the daily happenings of my life.

The distinction of active and passive really isn't helpful for me. I think that having a perspective of openness to the leading of the Holy Spirit into both of what you term lifestyle / street corner evangelism is most important. Sharing the Kingdom of God is active. It's never passive. Back to openness. Being open allows you to be sensitive to meet people where they are at, whether that be a random person on the street or a close friend who you've known for years.
