The other day in our young adult Sunday school we watched "Bullhorn" from Nooma videos. Man those are awesome videos! A couple things stuck me as I processed.

1. Loving people is how we love God.

So simple sounding yet so profound. Sometimes, I think we forget this essential truth of Christianity. But, this is the command that Jesus gives us. Love.

2. As we mostly agreed, relational, friendship evangelism is the more effective way to reach the world today. However, I think we have to be careful lest we begin to use this as a cop-out for not sharing the gospel. Perhaps what is needed is some time spent thinking through the pratical ways of relational evangelism. I mean how do we share Christ by just our being. How do we let our light shine without annoyingly shining it in peoples eyes? Perhaps the best place to start looking is at how Jesus worked.

"Preach the gospel at all times and when neccessary use words." - St. Francis of Assisi

I think Francis was on to something here...
