NewToo bad. Those words/phrases

Tue, 08/18/20

Too bad. Those words/phrases are entirely appropriate. These are not the only ways to express evangelism, but there is nothing wrong with them. Reveals more about attitudes of some younger Christians. Many times their so-called witnessing/evangelism isn’t very much real witnessing.
