Howard A. Snyder:

Many churches do not share the gospel effectively because their communal experience of the gospel is too weak and tasteless to be worth sharing. It does not excite believers to the point that they want to witness, and (as the believers may uncomfortably suspect) it is not especially attractive to the unbeliever. But where Christian fellowship demonstrates the gospel, believers come alive and sinners get curious and want to know what the secret is.
