One guy was sharing the gospel with some lost people and after he was done, a legalist told him that he did not like the way that he had shared.  The good Christian man said, “I know my way isn’t perfect.  Tell me how you do it.”  The legalist hesitated and said, “Well, actually I can’t say that I share the gospel at all.”  The good Christian man said, “Well, I like my way much better than your way.”  
Amen.
