12 Favorite New Christmas Worship Songs - Crossmap Christian News | Entertainment

12 Favorite New Christmas Worship Songs - Crossmap Christian News | Entertainment: "Christmas is just around the corner.  As we prepare for Christmas with lots of trips to the church and outreach events, the numerous hours to be spent standing by the stove, the long queues at Walmart and the countless hours stopping at the traffic lights, why not download some Christmas music as we wait?  Why not spend some time in worshipping Jesus and not allow the hustle of Christmas to overwhelm us?  Why don't we devote as much or even more time for Jesus as the time we spend on ourselves?  Sure, we have the old Christmas albums by Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant, but what about newer Christmas worship songs?  Christmas songs that get us to the heart of the season."

A Field Guide to Evangelism (5/10) – theolatte

A Field Guide to Evangelism (5/10) – theolatte: "The human epic is stained by guilt, shame and regret. Even if some deny the reality of God, they cannot functionally deny the existence of guilt.
People can try to discard it as a social construct, or repress it through medication, but there is a proven track record that emancipation from guilt can’t be obtained through human efforts. When we share the gospel with skeptics, we speak to their innate knowledge of God and their deep understanding of their moral guilt. But we must remember that guilt is only a symptom. Sin and separation from God are the true problems. And grace is the only antidote."

A Field Guide to Evangelism (4/10) – theolatte

A Field Guide to Evangelism (4/10) – theolatte: "We are to present truth as knowable because of the triune God who is sovereign. If we water down our conception of God to make the gospel message more palatable we will find that, in the end, we are no longer doing true evangelism. We merely market a god of our own invention, attempting to woo people in with a hazy image of an impotent deity."

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?"

Bible scripture that prove the science of the Bible: "One of the ways to prove that the Bible is true and is the word of God, is to look at all the science that was written about in the Bible thousands of years before man discovered or could even imagine that many of these scientific things were real. The men who wrote these things could not have known any of this without the words being from God. Many of these thing we take for granted now because we know that they are proven facts, and are so obvious to us now."

Tragedies cause many people to question God’s goodness. It is distressing that natural disasters are often termed “acts of God” while no “credit” is given to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the whole universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural disasters are a result of these laws at work. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornados are the results of divergent weather patterns colliding. Earthquakes are the result of the earth’s plate structure shifting. A tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake."
