Deuteronomy 6:5 makes intense love the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Moderate love is a sin. Maybe the worst sin.–Ray Ortlund, Jr. (HT: Pure Church) (emphasis added)

A world of 100

If there were 100 people in the world this is how many would belong to different religions. This is a great way to summarize the world in an understandable way. You can also see things like skin color, how many live in fear, literacy, access to water and more. Check it out.

Do you care that others perish?

Charles Simeon convicts us all as he writes, “If we were doomed to suffer the loss but of a finger only, it would press with considerable weight upon our minds: but we can behold persons, on every side of us, going down to perdition, without making any serious effort to deliver them.”
Do you have a minute?

This is my slight adaptation from Mark Dever’s outline of the gospel for use in evangelism/witness. He calls it “the Gospel in 60 seconds or less”. It is a basic overview of the gospel that you can share in a brief minute (if that is all that time allows). Of course, it can be and [...]
Every Christian an evangelist

Pastor Lane Keister in TableTalk :
One of the main problems that churches are facing today in the area of evangelism is the idea that the pastor is the only person qualified to evangelize. They might think that the pastor must be the only one to do evangelism because the pastor is paid to do it. [...]
Are you advancing the gospel?
Posted in Evangelism on April 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A great reminder From Pure Church:
You must advance the gospel to see society reformed. Only born-again people can live born-again lives.
When Christians speak of “preserving a Christian heritage,” that’s the last gasping breath of a dying faith. The Christian influence of that society is about to expire.
You can only talk about “preserving a Christian [...]
Answering the critics:”I’m with Jesus”

Here is a great post by Tony Reinke about how we can simplify our apologetic (defending our faith) by simply pointing people back to what Jesus said and did.
It’s a method any Christian who studies the gospels for a few months can use. Here is an excerpt.
Upstairs a conference was taking place and pastor Mark [...]
Do you stink at evangelism

Joe Thorn reminds us that, although most of us feel ill-equipped and inadequate for evangelism, at least we should be trying.
Here’s an example where the method and content of evangelism is, well let’s say, lacking, but give the guy points for trying!
Are you willing to be hated?
Posted in Evangelism on February 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What Randy Alcorn writes usually convicts me. This week he wrote a piece about being hated for the gospel and he hits many issues head on about our evangelism practices. One particularly pointed paragraph is a jolting reminder:
We should certainly be nice, and it’s sad when Christians aren’t. But it’s also sad when we imagine [...]
