    A surprise, a realization, an encouragement and a reality check for understanding why more people don’t respond to the Christian message.

    After I became a Christian, I wanted to find a way to share the good news of Christ with my non-Christian friends and family members. I was convinced that if I could find just the right approach, just the right technique, all of my unbelieving friends would come to faith in Christ. At first I ...read more

And somewhere deep inside the memory, a child’s frustration mixed with sudden triumph. Whack-A-Mole. You remember the game. ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 71 views

    Witness is not something Christians are trained to do, but what naturally happens when Christ is truly abided in and His life is allowed to shine.

    — When Evangelism Language Wears Us Out There are certain words in the church that carry more weight than we realize.
