    Evangelism 2

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 1, 2013
     | 3,842 views

    What is our motivation for evangelism? Are we safe in our "cocoon" of personal salvation or do we see the lost people of the world as those who are truly in danger of an eternity without the Lord?

    Last Sunday we took a look at some of the attitudes we need and which we might encounter as we seek to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We need to be ready for some “push back” - preconceived ideas We need to be ready to engage the “down and ...read more

    I believe that the propensity of our faith in the Gospel is to move us to boldly speak without compromise and obey to do what we have seen and heard so that we might speak.

    You ask me what is the most important feature or belief of the Christian faith, and I will say without a doubt, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Disprove it, and the entire belief system disintegrates.

    Of all the metal armor pieces as described by Paul, he begins with a belt made of leather. The reason is because it's the most important part of the armor. Without it, the armor falls apart.

    As you may recall when Paul wrote Ephesians, he was in prison in Rome. He had been arrested after the fire that almost destroyed the city. Nero blamed the fire on the Christians. Paul, being one the most influential leaders, was handcuffed constantly to a Roman guard. As Paul analyzed the ...read more

    The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion.
