I am convicted and challenged by this short video. I hope you are too.

A Specialist In Pleasant Surprises

Is there anything we can do to win someone in addition to sharing the gospel? “Actions are noticed by men. Monica, St. Augustine’s famous mother, taught her neighbor gentlewomen when asked how she won her perverse husband. ‘Why’, she said, ‘I observed his mind, and pleased him in all things it didn’t matter. [...]

Election Fuels Evangelism

And the Lord said to Paul l one night in a vision,  “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,  for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” And he [...]

Missionary Sacrifice…In Your Neighborhood

When I think of a missionary, I think of sacrifice. I think of eating raw grubs in the Amazon jungle. I think of sleeping on concrete floors in Morocco. I think of sacrificing the comforts of friends and family, and moving to a location far away. I think of trying to cross awkward cultural barriers. I [...]

Here’s the scene: Jesus is raised from the dead. He has gathered his scattered disciples and is preparing to unleash them on a dead world.

These People Aren’t Drunk

It was a bizarre scene – the kind that quickly draws a crowd. First, there was the overwhelming sound of wind. But that’s the bizarre part: it was only a sound. There was no movement of the air, no curtains being ruffled. Weird. Then there was 120 Galilean freak shows who were all speaking different languages. What [...]

An Atheist Challenges Me To Evangelize

The most provoking quote I’ve read all year is by an avowed atheist.  I want to read it regularly to stir me to evangelism. “… I’ve always said, you know, that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there is a heaven and hell, and people [...]

Invite Them To Come In

You may not always be able to share the gospel with someone, but there’s an often overlooked opportunity to evangelize that’s so easy even a caveman can do it – invite people to church. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says there is a “mysterious element in the life of the Church.  What is this?  It is what [...]
