Active or Passive Witness? Bible says: Yep.

Chris Patton at Christian Faith at Work writes a helpful, concise post about two competing schools of thought that really should not be competing: whether believers should be active (evangelizing by the initiative spoken word) or passive (evangelizing by life style and example). If the "active" school is too aggressive and the "passive" school too quiet, Patton's essay is a refreshing reminder that the Bible calls us to be doers in word and deed.

He commends the active:

"Barna reports that roughly 40% of the U.S. adult population is unchurched. That means there are plenty of people around you in the workplace that need what you have. They need you to share your faith."

He commends the passive:

"This means your business practices are to be above reproach. You are to walk what you talk! You are to live out all that Jesus has commanded us – in every facet of your life. You are not free to live as you please simply because you are good at approaching complete strangers with the truth of the gospel.
