4 Lessons for Evangelism Across Economic Boundaries — thegospelcoalition.org

4 Lessons for Evangelism Across Economic Boundaries — thegospelcoalition.org: "Let's be honest. When churches talk about "reaching out across socioeconomic boundaries," they are talking about middle class (and wealthier) people reaching out to poorer folks. You don't see many rundown churches in economically depressed areas starting outreach programs for Volvo-driving soccer moms who live in housing developments with names like "The Pines at Oakbrooke Gables." I don't know, maybe they should."

Simple Evangelism in the Church — thegospelcoalition.org

Simple Evangelism in the Church — thegospelcoalition.org: "Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). Loving one another in the body of Christ has many benefits. Two that regularly come to mind are the glory it gives to God and the way it affects the church. However, one of the primary benefits of loving one another is what it declares before a watching world.

Review: 'The Question That Never Goes Away' - a look at suffering by Philip Yancey — www.christiantoday.com

Review: 'The Question That Never Goes Away' - a look at suffering by Philip Yancey — www.christiantoday.com: "Philip Yancey deserves a medal for consistently tackling the one issue that is perhaps the hardest to deal with in all of Christian thinking, and to keep dealing with it, again and again and again.

He does so always with the same sense of integrity and Biblical zeal that he's used to tackle issues of prayer and grace in much of his other writing."

How did the things Jesus said and did when He was alone get recorded in the Gospels?

How did the things Jesus said and did when He was alone get recorded in the Gospels?: "Answer: There are a number of times in the Gospels when Jesus’ words are quoted or His actions are described during times that He was alone. For example, when Jesus was in the desert for forty days (Matthew 4) or praying in the Garden at Gethsemane (Mark 14), He was by Himself. How did anyone know what He said or did, since there were no eyewitnesses to what happened?"
