ITCZ 101 - Your Elevator Pitch

Question: What is your elevator pitch for the Gospel?


Answer: "What's an elevator pitch?" :-/


Ok, let's start there! An elevator pitch (EP) is a quick overview of a topic that expresses a thought or idea in a quick and concise manner. The pitch only takes about 20-30 seconds. So even the tightest window of opportunity to deliver the Gospel becomes easy to do.

If someone asks about our Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.

The EP does require a little planning and practice. However, just like doing mental reps to galvanize your heart, the EP becomes a faith boost because the preparation builds confidence.

Mind Tools has an excellent piece on Crafting an Elevator Pitch. This should give you a pretty thorough introduction. Thank you, Mind Tools!

Review, ITCZ 101 - Deliver The Gospel to nail down exactly what the Gospel is. Then craft your pitch. Practice it and get it down to approximately 30 seconds and you have yourself a powerful witnessing tool.

Preparation Meets Opportunity

When an opportunity presents itself you will be able to "quick draw" the Gospel in moments you previously would miss. In most cases, you won't even need to seek out opportunities. They will present themselves and you'll be ready.

When you take even the tiniest steps to prepare yourself in the Lord, He opens up doors for you to exercise your faith.

And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." - Mark 16:15 NLT
Sing to the LORD; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. - Psalm 96:2-3 NLT

Take Action!

What is your Gospel elevator pitch?

Get a toasty hot cup of coffee and your favorite treat and sit down and review possible elevator pitches. Really get it nailed down.
Practice it! 
I Corinthians 15:3-4 can be shared in just seconds. Add on a quick, "If you believe in Jesus you will be saved. Do you believe?" and you are a powerful soul winner! :-) 
I bet you'll have even better ideas than that, once you dig in.

Please, add your thoughts in the comment section.

Armor of God | Watchful Perseverance

Image
The armor of God has been a topic that has been difficult to get our minds wrapped around. What it is and how we put it on, has seemed to be a bit mysterious. So maybe by looking at the effect of the armor we can get a better understanding of how to put the armor on. We previously looked at  The Word of God , so let's take the next piece. We're leaving in,  The Effect of Armor,  section here for continuity. The Effect of Armor The most prominent place the armor of God is listed is in  Ephesians 6:14-18 NKJV .  Each piece of armor has an effect. Since it is spiritual armor, and we are physically oriented, it can be difficult to understand what is happening when we have it on. One of the things we know about armor is that once we are in the battle, we shouldn't have to think about the armor. It will passively protect us and we shouldn't have to give it another thought. We inspect, test and repair the armor on a regular basis and ensure it is fitted corr

Galvanize Your Heart

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. What and how you think about life is extremely important. There is also another aspect of thinking that needs to be considered as well. That would be the priority of thinking. The scripture in Romans 12:2 NLT  does not ask us to change the way we feel. We need to change the way we think. Thinking is the part of your heart that the Lord is working on. So let's put a high priority on how we think. Pray. Think first. The emotions support and reinforce our resolve. The body gets us there and does the physical work. God is glorified. Think Like Jesus Thinks So what and how do we think? Have you ever noticed that when Jesus answered a question, he either asked another question back or answered the question they should have asked to find salvation? Jesus certainly did answer their question but more importantly He would first give another answer to a question they did not ask, but they should have. The q
