Bible Bashing – How Not To Do Evangelism

Bible Bashing – How Not To Do Evangelism: "Perhaps Bible bashing is not the problem for the evangelical church today.  Maybe the challenge is Bible blushing, where believers shy away from asserting the truth of God’s Word.  Regardless, when we do speak it must be in humble reliance on the Holy Spirit, firmly gripping the hilt of His sword with patience, instruction, gentleness and respect."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Scientific impossibility.: ""How would you like to be able to make an atheist [me] backslide -- in two minutes?  You got 2 minutes. No takers? Let’s see. I'll start asking then. First, disprove the theory and law of evolution. That may take a while. Second, prove the earth is only 6000 years old. Third, why are you wearing a mixed fabric shirt, yet hating on gay marriage?” Broc Page"

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Prayer & wars.: ""How long a war is going to last is up to the humans in charge. It is up to their free will. It is not up to God. So why pray to God to end the war when it's outside of God's control? I don't understand it." Henrik Buus Jensen"

James Leo Garrett, Jr.’s Evangelism for Discipleship – Walking Together Ministries

James Leo Garrett, Jr.’s Evangelism for Discipleship – Walking Together Ministries: "The best books are not always either currently on store shelves or even currently in print.  I was reminded of that fact today when I read James Leo Garrett, Jr.’s little book, Evangelism for Discipliship.  Published almost fifty years ago, the addresses that comprise this book were originally delivered to the Kentucky Baptist Evangelistic Conference meeting January 15-17, 1962, and published in 1964.  I found a copy through an online used book site.  I note that one more copy is available from www.abebooks.com."

Who's Afraid Of A Little 'Walk-Up' Evangelism? | AFES — www.afes.org.au — Readability

Who's Afraid Of A Little 'Walk-Up' Evangelism? | AFES — www.afes.org.au — Readability: "Even the thought of walk-up evangelism — walking up to total strangers and trying to start conversations with them about Jesus — strikes fear into my heart.

My mind immediately conjures up the worst possible response someone could have when I walk up to them and mention the name ‘Jesus’. This is quickly followed by a raft of excuses that will get me out of it."

Got Questions - Question of the Week

Got Questions - Question of the Week: "nswer: There are literally hundreds of promises in the Bible. How can we know which promises apply to us, which promises we can claim? To frame this question another way, how can one tell the difference between general promises and specific promises? A general promise is one that is given by the Holy Spirit to every believer in every age. When the author penned the promise, he set no limitations on time period or recipient."

Why should I believe in God?

Why should I believe in God?: "Answer: Belief in God is the most basic of all human considerations. Acknowledgement of one’s Creator is foundational to learning any more about Him. Without believing in God, it is impossible to please Him or even come to Him (Hebrews 11:6). People are surrounded with proof of God’s existence, and it is only through the hardening of sin that men reject that proof (Romans 1:18–23). It is foolish to disbelieve in God (Psalm 14:1)."

What is the significance of the lampstand in the Bible?

What is the significance of the lampstand in the Bible?: "nswer: The first time we see the word lampstand in the Bible is in Exodus 25:31, as God gives detailed instructions about the golden lampstand to be placed in the tabernacle the Israelites were building. It’s interesting to note just how precise God is in explaining how He wanted the lampstand to look. Since we can be assured there are no “wasted words” in the Bible, we know each detail and specification are important for some reason."
