There are hurting people out there who live this way...putting on a stony face for all others to see, but crying out in anguish in private because of deep, inner pain arising from environments and situations in life that did inner damage. Do YOU know someone who seems strong and stony of face, and possibly hiding deep, inner pain. This is one of many outplays of those who are at risk for suicide. Prayer, caring and persistence can sometimes break through that hard exterior to the point that they finally break and let it out to you. Pray the Lord uses YOU to make a difference in the life of another hurting soul:
Are You Unstoppable?

How do we, as servants of Christ Jesus, become UNSTOPPABLE in sharing Christ and His Gospel with others?
It starts with prayer...that deep, abiding relationship we should all have with the Lord.
We also have additional instructions:
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Some will inevitably say that they are not called to evangelize...
Really? Where does scripture say that? Where did the Lord place limitations on sharing His Gospel only by those who possess some sort of gifting? We don't have to conduct tent meetings. Those require resources that most of us don't have. It costs nothing to ask someone you've engaged conversation with such questions as, "Is there anything that would stop you from calling upon the name of Christ Jesus for salvation right now?"
That is how we "cut to the chase." Addressing any barriers up front saves lots of time from beating around the bush. If they hate you for asking such a thing, then they are actually hating Christ above all else.
So, BE unstoppable.
