I agree that being loving and caring is important, but that does not mean that one should not take advantage of opportunities to share the Gospel. Particularly if one feels that it is right for him to even go door to door. We should not try to twist arms, I agree. But if one feels that he should evangelize, it would be wrong for him not to because James writes that for him that knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin. Paul said "woe unto me if I preach not the gospel" or something to that effect. Link Hudson.
