Proverbs 20:25 Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God and only later counting the cost.
I question myself and my timid heart often about not been bold in influencing people people to accept Jesus as there Savior. I seem bold at church and often wish I would have said more in personal conversations.
With that confession I don't know where to place this scripture and my lingering feeling that in our Christian culture we often are good at creating moments for people to encounter God. In those emotional moments people make "a rash promise to God." Soon the emotion fades and the person feels trapped instead of redeemed.
When to be bold and when to make sure people consider the cost?
