(So why do I not witness all the time?1. Perhaps I'm too terrified to open my mouth2. Perhaps I've convinced myself that the great commission doesn't apply to me, that I don't have that particular gift3. Perhaps in my deepest, most secret part of my heart, I don't really believe that the LORD would send them to hell4. Perhaps I actually want them to go to hellThere must be a reason)
