Pitfalls in Witnessing

• Avoid Arguments
• Do not be distracted.  Distractions are usually in the form of our individual pleasures.  A typical example of this is the fact that we can spend hours watching football, hunting, fishing and the like but will reject any effort (no matter how small) to participate in a Bible Study.
• Avoid ruts.  Failing to realize that there are many members in the Body and making comparisons of one with another can place us in a rut.  Christ is the only Standard by which we should measure.  We must realize that it is His Power in us that makes us effective.
• Numbers: Avoid comparing quantities.  This is prideful, see 1 Chronicles 20 - 21 for King David's prideful use of numbers.  Witnessing to one is as fruitful as witnessing to the masses.
