Back To Home Page To Archives - Spring of Life - H. Roger Bothwell The Pizza Evangelist It was eleven P.M. and I was taking my black lab for her usual mile before turning in for the night. The Patriots were playing on Monday Night Football and so I wasn't overly surprised to see a pizza delivery car pass us and swing into the driveway of a house occupied only by men. In a few moments the pizza man was back in his old car and heading my way. Stopping abruptly he rolled down his window and said, "We have a terrific special this week. You can get a large pizza with your choice of toppings for only 5.99. Here's a flyer." I thought to myself, "What an evangelist! If only I was as enthusiastic about sharing Jesus." Granted I most likely shouldn't stop strangers in the middle of the night. Then again maybe I should. Most of us are way to shy about mentioning our faith. We live in an age of political correctness and we certainly don't want to offend someone. But what if someone is desperate for help? What if they are perishing and we are too shy? What if we alone were the only one able to bring them hope? While I certainly don't think God calls us to be in people's faces about Jesus, I also wonder if we sometimes are someone's last chance. Jesus did say, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
