Faith Omission as Sin
Not sharing your faith when you know to is a sin of omission, which is a real sin.
We have the responsibility to share the gospel urgently, like saving a child from a burning house.

Use Frangelism Locally
Go into your own sphere of influence — family, friends, neighbors, and associates — to share the gospel.
Use "frangelism" as a tool to evangelize those closest to you.

In *Cold-Case Christianity*, J. Warner Wallace uses his experience as a homicide detective to investigate the claims of the Gospels. He applies ten common rules of evidence to determine the historical reliability of the Bible, the role of evidence in Christian faith, and why the gospel eyewitness accounts demonstrate the historicity of Jesus. The book includes updated content, new illustrations, and an afterword addressing questions about the New Testament's reliability. It is designed for both spiritual seekers and Christians looking to articulate the case for Jesus and the Bible's validity.
As Christians, seeing someone make a profession of faith is one of the best things we can experience. But today, Pastor Greg Laurie forces us to stop and think: when is the last time it was me inviting someone to take that step? And he reveals that not sharing your faith can actually be a sin.
The Great Commission is for every follower of Christ. Get the encouragement and insight you need to embrace God's calling.
