Speak with Earnest

Speaking in EarnestYou may depend upon it that you may make men understand the truth if you really want to do so; but if you are not in earnest, it is not likely that they will be. If a man were to knock at my door in the middle of the night, and when I put my head out of the window to see what was the matter, he should say, in a very quiet, unconcerned way, "There is a fire at the back part of your house," I should have very little thought of any fire, and should feel inclined to empty a jug of water over him.Charles Spurgeon
When we talk about Christ, do we show the gratitude that we have in the knowledge that we are saved from a life of eternal hell to a life of righteousness in our Lord? Or do we just talk about Him like He's some everyday Joe? People see Christ shine through us, or do they? If we don't have joy and show concern when we talk to others about Christ, why should we think others should be in earnest to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Are we trying to sell them a product or tell them the gospel that can save their soul?
