Prayer is Essential in Evangelism « Baptist Campus Ministries at Drexel: "Prayer is essential for evangelism.  There is very little you can do to “make” a person develop their personal relationship with God.  You may be able to on some level encourage it but that is all.  Salvation is completely between that person and God.  You can never fix someone else’s relationship.  It has to be restored by God “wooing” them.  Then they need to respond to God’s love.  You do nothing but maybe have the chance to set the stage for this divine romance by making the introductions."

Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day: "I have been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A

The Cathy family, led by Chick Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, are a wonderful Christian family who are committed to operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story. Starting at age 46 Truett Cathy built Chick Fil-A into a $4 billion a year enterprise with over 1600 stores. At 91, he is still active in the company, but his son Dan runs it day to day as CEO.It's a great American story that is being smeared by vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left."
