Proclaim. Perform.
When we talk about evangelism we must understand that there are two key intertwining ideas that must always be before us and at work within us. One without the other is not sufficient.
The gospel must be performed. By performed I that we must ask ourselves does who God is and how he work in this world come to bear on my life as his witness in such a way that I seek to flesh out the sacrificial love of God that unselfishly seeks what is best for others. see john 13:35
The gospel must be proclaimed. By proclaim I mean that work of God in Christ must be put into words. see Romans 10:14-15
Beautiful pictures of both of these is found in Acts 4, Philippians 1.
God help us in being the church in this generation that both performs and proclaims the gospel with our lips and our lives. One without the other is not enough!
