on door after door, but it won’t change anyone’s mind about Jesus. We can argue with family and friends about the Virgin birth, Good Friday, and Easter morning. None of our explanations, apologetics, or appeals to the Bible can wash away disbelief. In the end, no matter how much effort we pump into evangelism, none of our efforts will work. Evangelism—delivering the message of good news about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection for us—doesn’t run in the way of monologue, dialogue, or revival meeting. The good news about Jesus Christ runs only in the way of the Holy Spirit and His gifts.
