A Field Guide to Evangelism (3/10) – theolatte

A Field Guide to Evangelism (3/10) – theolatte: "Christians can easily become intimidated when sharing the gospel with the “intelligentsia.” This should not be so. The believer need not assume a position of weakness when talking with skeptics. The Christian worldview offers much more than many people realize when it comes to describing reality. In fact, an atheistic worldview is actually forced to borrow certain assumptions that flow from a theistic outlook in order to formulate an argument against it."

A Field Guide to Evangelism (2/10) – theolatte

A Field Guide to Evangelism (2/10) – theolatte: "Sharing the gospel with skeptics is not an endeavor to be taken lightly. It is a risky enterprise, and the greatest risks involve the apologist’s own soul. That’s why C.S. Lewis, in the midst of his WWII evangelistic endeavors, warned youth leaders of the need to walk circumspectly when operating on the front lines of apologetic activity: That is why we apologists take our lives in our hands and can be saved only by falling back continually from the web of our own arguments, as from our intellectual counters, into the Reality — from Christian apologetics into Christ Himself. That also is why we need one another’s continual help."

A Field Guide to Evangelism (1/10) – theolatte

A Field Guide to Evangelism (1/10) – theolatte: "Many Christians, according to Russell D. Moore, think about evangelism like they think about flossing. They know they should do it more often – and they even feel guilty when they’re reminded of it – but they think of it as an optional discipline.
Such a laissez-faire approach to evangelism is certainly foreign to Scripture. Charles Haddon Spurgeon went so far as to say that this sort of attitude is antithetical to the gospel itself. “Have you no wish for others to be saved?” Spurgeon asked. “Then you’re not saved yourself, be sure of that!”"

How to Motivate Yourself and Others in Evangelism — banneroftruth.org — Readability

How to Motivate Yourself and Others in Evangelism — banneroftruth.org — Readability: "Most of us, most of the time, have little or no zeal for intentional evangelistic outreach. We will talk about what is important to us. I live in Alabama and most of the people here have no trouble at all talking about their favourite football team. If you are around me for very long, I will tell you about my grandchildren or the Restoration Academy basketball team which my son Jeff coaches. So, why do we so seldom speak of Jesus to others? I realize you have a job to do, and your company has not hired you to evangelize the people in your office. I totally get that, and I also know we must be ‘wise as serpents and innocent as doves.’ There is a time and a place to bring up gospel issues, and work is probably not one of them. Having said that, however, surely you will agree with me that most in the American church are woefully negligent in publishing the glad tidings of great joy. Are we not largely guilty of the sin of omission in this regard?"

Duck Dynasty Robertson's Continue Hammering the Message of Jesus Christ's Redemption — www.breakingchristiannews.com — Readability: ""We're just country folk from Louisiana," says Jep, echoing his parents' humble description of themselves.

Humble, but incredibly tenacious too. To the Robertson's, no topic is off-limits: marriage, divorce, chastity, rebellion, the value of life, alcoholism, drug use, poverty, pressures of fame, suicidal thoughts—you name it, they've either lived it or they're going to preach it to the camera as long as there are cameras rolling."

Could it be because you are guilty?” "

Not Just Christmas: Liberals Plan to Ruin Your Thanksgiving Too! — patriotupdate.com — Readability: "American tradition sets aside every fourth Thursday in November as a time for people to thank God for their blessings, eat too much, and toss the football around.

Liberals have started a new tradition in recent years that I don’t like nearly as much—pushing their political agenda at the dinner table. In days gone by, civility dictated that politics was not on the menu. But no longer! Liberals now consider Thanksgiving the perfect opportunity to get preachy with their loved ones."
