It is not enough to merely have high impact (HI) and close proximity (CP)
We have got to talk about our faith and put the spiritual concepts of the gospel into everyday words

People won't figure out the gospel out on their own - Romans 10
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways - Isaiah 55:8
Watching the life of a Christian (even a contagious one) won't be enough
Someone has to articulate the gospel

Must take the initiative and steer the the conversation toward spiritual topics
This book contains a limited number of examples - meant to spur our thinking

Must start with the heart-felt assurance that the gospel is good new my life and for others
If you need a firmer foundation:

1. List some benefits of knowing Christ
2. Review the promises of Christ for this life and the next
3. Thank and worship Him for the countless blessings of knowing Him

We will wonder why anyone could pass up His offer of forgiveness
Key Phrase: People won't figure out the gospel out on their own, they need you
