Evangelism Based on Awe

August 27, 2008

In a society which has been captured by a horizontal view of reality, there is a hunger for the experience of wonder and awe. When a person speaks of an experience of grace, not as a possession but in wonder and awe that it has touched them, there is a special power to their sharing.

Liz, who could not have been more than 30 years of age, stood up to speak. It was clear that she was nervous. “Tonight I can tell you that I have not had any drugs for one year.” Then, with a sense of wonder in her voice, she continued, “You know, that is the first time that I could say that in the last fifteen years.” It was not a sense of pride in her accomplishment with which Liz spoke but rather with a tinge of amazement in her voice that this gift had been given to her. We knew the grace of God in her presence.
