On April 15, 1912, 1,517 people lost their lives when the mighty Titanic went down in the Atlantic Ocean. While this was no doubt one of the greatest tragedies of all time, many lives were lost because of something other than the sinking of the Titanic. When the funeral ships arrived at the site three days later, they found 328 men, women and children floating in the water with their life jackets on. They had frozen to death. And what was determined after further investigation is that those people lost their lives, not because the Titanic sank, but because the people who made it into the lifeboats failed to go back and get those who were not yet in.
I don't know about you, but for the most part, people who are far from God aren't coming up to me on a regular basis asking for spiritual guidance to fix their very complex and often broken lives. How cool would it be for someone to come up to you today and say, "Excuse me, I have about three hours of free time this afternoon, and I was wondering if you could show me from the Bible how I could know God personally and how He can help me get through another day?"
John 10:4 "When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice."
In the previous two blogs, we have talked about God's expectation of His followers regarding the issue of personal evangelism. Here are some ideas of how God might lead you to intersect with others who may not know what it's like to spend one day with our Savior. How can you know if God is wanting you to act on behalf of someone?

In the previous blog, we began looking at the issue of what God expects of us as His followers when it comes to reaching out to the lost through personal evangelism. Here are a few insights to think about on this subject.
John 10:4 "When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice."
How do you know when God wants you to have a spiritual conversation with someone who is possibly not a Christian? After all, the world is full of non-Christians, and how are we supposed to determine which ones God wants us to talk to about Jesus and which ones He doesn't? Can we ever really know for sure? If we believe God wants us to talk to the person in the grocery store about Jesus, but we don't have the same motivation or compelling desire to share Jesus with the clerk at the gas station 20 minutes later, does that mean God loves them less or isn't concerned about them?
