I think that one of the problems we have with evangelism is that we don't show the lost a true picture of the joy of God's kingdom. Certainly in the southern United Methodist Church I grew up in this was the case. It kind of reminds me of the story of the woman who was visiting the church one Sunday. Not being a regular attendee of the church, when the pastor made a good point in the sermon, she said, "AMEN!" Heads turned to see who was making that racket. Then when the preacher made a really good point, she said, "THANK YOU JESUS!" Folks were getting uncomfortable by then. Finally the preacher made an exceptionally good point and the woman stood up, waved her hands in the air and shouted "HALLELUJAH!" At that point the head usher came up beside her and said, "Madam, what do you think you're doing?!" She replied, "I can't help it, I've got religion". The usher replied, "Well, you didn't get it HERE so sit down and be quiet."
