Servant Evangelism

Contributed by Larry Grant on May 8, 2022

Tabitha stands as the Biblical model of “servant evangelism." What makes this form of evangelism so authentic, is that it has the ability to touch people that nobody else can reach. Humble service. This is what draws people to you; that is what draws people to the Christ in you.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing.

Who Needs Miracles?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 11, 2023
