Dear Victorious,
Our pastor is constantly telling us that we are evangelists, and that each of us has personal responsibility to win others for Christ. To be honest, I don't think I'm gifted in that way, and I resent being told this all the time. Is there a good retort I could give?

Dear Millie,
Part of a Christian's mission in life is to show unbelievers what God is like. We do this not only by telling them, but rather by our acts of love and compassion - which we give God the credit for. When we do this (love others), they are then attracted to our God.
You don't have to be an outspoken evangelist, winning souls for the Lord. But you do have to love others and be a reflection of Jesus Christ. You may indeed be the only Jesus they see! Stop getting angry at your pastor and start thinking about how you could respond to his call for everyone to start reaching out.
