Should a powerful Gospel dance around the coersion of making relationships?

Simple answer, no.

How I came to this answer:: many times we believe that we need to establish a relationship to spread the gospel, though, making relationships go hand in hand with sharing the gospel but it is not synonymous with sharing the gospel. Don't get me wrong, this is not a post saying that we as Christians shouldn't have relationships with non-Christians and share the gospel in that process, but what I am saying is that relationships are not needed to share the Gospel. we must remember Jesus' words, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27 and again John 6:37 "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out." notice, those given to Jesus, WILL come to him. It does not matter if we have a relationship with them or not, they will come to Him because they hear His voice...that is the power of the Gospel. Though, having a relationship with others is proper and shows how we are loving others, but it is not NEEDED, it just goes hand-in-hand with it.
