Evangelism

Like a Man on Fire

August 30, 2011

Over the years I have heard people encourage evangelism by saying something like, “Preach like an Arminian, pray like a Calvinist.” That, or some variation on the theme gets play now and then. And, let me just tell you, it’s the wrong thing to say. It’s not the wrong thing to say because Calvinists are [...]

J.D. is a National Missionary with the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention and an Associate Professor of Church Planting and Evangelism in the Billy Graham School of Missions and Evangelism at The Southern Baptist [...]

The Most Important Post of the Year?

February 25, 2011

Has Steve McCoy written one of the most important blog post pastors will read this year? I think he just might have done it. Read it. Read it thoughtfully. Take it seriously.

She cautiously opened it a crack and the man threw in a letter and ran away. BOOM! – she just got evangelized! If poorly. I think it’s fair [...]

My Dad, The Christian

February 16, 2009

I grew up with very loving, supportive parents. I always knew how fortunate I was to have them (except for a couple years in my mid teens when I hated everyone in the world). My dad and I have always been close, and I have fond memories from my childhood of us playing Frisbee, boxing, [...]

Fall Push?

August 14, 2008

A lot of churches have a Fall push. Are any of your churches doing that? You know, summer vacations are over, kids are back in school, new residents are moved in and getting settled, a rhythm is developing and many churches use that time to try and connect with new people. Ads, mailers, door hangers, [...]
