    Seminar Sensation

    I agree that we need to be fed. For me, that takes place during the Sunday sermon. Of course, there is also personal Bible study and small groups. But to be honest, I get more out of Bible study when I pursue it alone. If/when I attend a small group, my main motive is to share with others and to...

    Seminar Sensation

    This has been on my mind lately. Is it just me, or do others notice that Christians tend to go to seminars a lot? It seems to be the fun thing for evangelicals to do: Go out for an evening to a local church to hear a famous speaker give a talk on a particular topic. I don't think there's...

    The "Sugar-Coated" Gospel

    Jesus said, "“It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance†(Luke 5:31-32). How can people respond to that call if they don't know they are sinners and that they are not righteous? Using the law...

    To the Streets!

    Re: Witnessing on the street I think the word "confrontation" is easily misconstrued. I'd prefer to call it "contact evangelism." I can't speak for the person who used the term confrontational, but I would venture to think they meant a kind of initiative evangelism that seeks to go out to...

    To the Streets!

    You're absolutely right. The Great commission is not just preaching, but also to "Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you" (Mt. 28:19-20). I'm currently involved in two...

    To the Streets!

    I'm not really working on any assumption; I'm merely responding to your reasoning, which I have reasonably shown to be wrong. You objected to the method of handing out tracts without conversation when you wrote: "Who's "hearing the Gospel" with a hand out and how do you know they took the time...

    To the Streets!

    You're right, I don't. But I can't make anyone read the tract, any more than you can make them listen to you or understand you even if they do listen to you. We have no control over the responses of others, so your question is really not an issue at all. Now don't misunderstand me...I try as...

    To the Streets!

    Okay, at least we've cleared that up. :) Quite a few times, actually. I wouldn't say that I've always sat down to read it, but I have checked it out to see what it was about. In any case, this question of yours is an invalid one, IMO, because it seems to be based on the assumption that the...

    To the Streets!

    I have some questions for you... :) 1) When does the Bible indicate that being "personal" should be the chief factor when determining how to evangelize? I ask this because your concern with being "un-personal" seems to be of first importance for you. 2) How many people have you been able...

    Bible Study Most abused/misused Bible verse?

    Hey all, Over the years I've noticed there are certain Bible verses that are often misquoted and/or misapplied to an alarming degree. The way they are often used at first seemed ok, but then as time went on I'd consider them in both their immediate and broad contexts and realize that they...

    Christian dating a confused Christian

    That's really an irrelevant question. This has nothing to do with my age; rather it has everything to do with revealed truth from Scripture. What does God have to say about this matter? That should be our chief question in all matters of our lives. Yes, I agree with all that. But that is...

    Christian dating a confused Christian

    Bruchko, I think it's great that your relationship turned out well for you. God can direct our paths in spite of our plans and make things turn out well for us. But honestly I think the best advice to give someone in a questionable relationship should come straight from the Bible rather than...

    Christian dating a confused Christian

    That's all the better for him. He has had a good, long chance to see what her spiritual life is like. No, actually, I don't. :-? Given what the Bible clearly says about the nature of the believer, I'm not sure what growth has to do with this. More below... I agree with some of this...

    Ideas for dates?

    Hey everyone, I'm interested in getting some ideas about interesting things to do/places to go on a date. I've thought about museums and historical sites, but these places might not appeal to everyone. Any ideas? Thanks! :D

    Christian dating a confused Christian

    Yes, I do. :) The bottom line here, as I see it, is whether she is a Christian. Now I don't mean whether she professes to be a Christian, but rather whether she really is one. According to Scripture (1 John in particular, but there are other passages), the true believer shows the reality and...

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    Unred, Unfortunately I see little reason to continue this discussion with you, for two reasons: 1) I'm not trying to condemn you, but your words and manner of response have made it clear to me that you are not in the proper frame of mind to discuss this. In your last post you were not only...

    To the Streets!

    You're right; I don't start off by asking people if they know Jesus Christ died for their sins. I generally use the approach promoted by Ray Comfort in his "Way of the Master" ministry. If you're not familiar with it, it stresses the importance of beginning an evangelistic encounter by showing...

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    Anything about the nature of God is highly important and crucial for us to know. I would further say that a sound doctrine of God will hold that God is three Persons in one essence (deity). Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. Then I would say that if you are not trying to...
