A mountain man
walked into a mining camp dragging a large grizzly bear behind him. The citizens,
a tough bunch, were awed by the spectacle and asked how he had killed the
fearsome creature.
"I wrestled
him till he died," was the incredible response.
One of the
smaller citizens whined, "Well, it was easy for you, you're big. I
couldn't do anything like that because I'm just little." To which the bear
killer replied, "There are plenty of small bears where this one came from.
Go get you one little buddy."
I wonder if we
feel the same way as that smaller miner when it comes to evangelism. We see a Joe
Laubie lead five people to the church and then through baptism and say,
"Well, that is his gift, I could never do that." Or a person like
Dominic brings his friend to church who even before baptism has already invited
one of his friends to come to church. We respond, "Well, he probably has
lots of friends who are not going to church, I don't."
