I’ve heard it said many times when talking about going to heaven, ‘You can’t take it with you.’ It’s true that you cannot take with you your house, car, money, or other things you have...

Very small errors in our understanding of the Gospel can result in very big problems.

A Jesus Follower can explain our “One God in Three Persons” is like an “equilateral triangle”. Both have three, conjoined, and distinct but identical parts. This is a simple way to help non-Followers of Jesus...

Listening is a discipline. It’s all about being present at that moment in time.

Leadership is simply a well applied energy burst. If a leader is going to let his energy get depleted through not important and urgent activities that distracts every ministry, then there will not be any...

If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don’t get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.

The gospel of submission, commitment, decision, and victorious living is not good news about what God has achieved but a demand to save ourselves with God’s help. Besides the fact that Scripture never refers to...

There is nothing in the world or the Church — except the church’s disobedience — to render the evangelization of the world in this generation an impossibility.

The significant thing about Edwards is the way he enters into the tradition, infuses it with his personality and makes it live. The vitality of his thought gives to its product the value of unique...

The more faithful preachers are to the Word of God in their preaching, the more liable they are to the charge of hypocrisy. Why? Because the more faithful people are to the Word of God...

The ease with which we can now get an audience for a discussion of religion does not prove that more people are becoming religious. What it really proves is the existence of a large “floating...

Radical obedience to Christ is not easy… It’s not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk...

In the past, I have all too often listened without hearing, asking questions when I had no intention of hearing the answer or understand my customer’s requirements.

I need a first-class reputation

We’re a divided country on sexual issues. That’s why every news cycle brings more controversy.

The Christian Church has put a spiritual hierarchy on jobs. Ministers and missionaries are on top, then perhaps doctors and nurses come next, and so on to the bottom, where artists appear. Artists of whatever...

All topics should be studied through the lens of the Gospel.

Secularism drew a radical distinction between public and private life, in which religion, in any traditional sense, was relegated to the private sphere with no hold over public life. There are many charms in secularism,...

Embrace the fundamentals like the closest of friends, for they will be the foundation of your future success.

Missional leaders not only feel the burden of God’s mission but they also act on the burden and act upon it sacrificially. Leading a missional church is not for the faint of heart. It takes...

God is calling us to live for the sake of Christ and to do that through suffering. Christ chose suffering; it didn’t just happen to Him. He chose it as the way to create and...

It should be considered illegal for a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ not to be burning with passion for our Lord and burning with passion for the lost.

William Carey chides his countrymen for deciding it would be impossible for the Gospel to travel over great distances and to penetrate varied cultures when they are willing to face the same trials for the...

All too often people say to artists, ‘To be an artist is fine if your art can be used for evangelism.’ And art has often become a tool for evangelism. But let’s be precise. As...

Whilst people have answered questions, I have only heard my own voice thinking of the next question.

Fascinatingly resilient the tenacity of a child. Not yet conditioned by society to give up when instructed to do so.

There is nothing better than to have a highly motivated team of leaders focused on than reaching those far from Christ. And yet statistics and our experience reveal that evangelism entropy can creep deep inside...

When our Lord said to the disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19), His reference was not to the skilled angler, but to those who use the drag-net–something which...

The more spiritual successes that Edwards experienced, the more he seemed to intentionally infuse his sermons with language deemed to move a person’s emotional center—their souls—to spiritually and physically respond.

Instead of imposing new obligations, (Christians) should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet.

The assumption that the gospel can be reduced to a note card is already off on the wrong track.

True gospel preaching always changes the heart. It either awakens it or hardens it.

A need for approval lies behind all efforts of evangelism. If someone else can be convinced, that will show us that we are on the right path. The attempt to convince someone of anything is...

If I am not master of my life, not sultan of my own being, then no man’s logic and no man’s ecstatic fits may force me to find less silly my impossibly silly position: that...

It is the great business of every Christian to save souls. People complain that they do not know how to take hold of this matter. Why, the reason is plain enough; they have never studied...
