Why Do Christians sometimes find it difficult to speak to people about Jesus?

W

The biggest misunderstandings and hindrances to evangelism People need to be saved. This comes mainly through evangelism. The Bible is clear that we need to take the gospel to people. Jesus said He came for the unsaved – Luke 5:32. When He left for heaven, He said: “Go into all the world – make disciples.” Disciples must be made from converts. This means: first, the converts; then, the discipling...

Places where Jesus Connected with People

P

Places where Jesus Connected with People I got this information from an article on the internet by Mark Goering: How Jesus found people in the middle of everyday life and what it means for how we look for the harvest today. Most of us have been trained by the prevailing church model to think of ministry as an act of attraction. Create events or invite people into one-on-one coffee meetups, and...

The Parable of the Orange Groves

I dreamed I drove on a Florida road, still and straight and empty. On either side were groves of orange trees, so that as I turned to look at them from time to time, line after line of orange trees stretched back endlessly from the road their boughs heavy with round orange fruit. My wonder grew as the miles slipped by. How could the harvest be gathered? Suddenly I realized that for all the hours...

Greed

What God is saying about greed: For greed is idolatry. (Ephesians 5:5). Then he said to them: “Take care and be on your guard against every form of greed, for a man’s life does not depend on the abundance of his possessions. (Luke 12:15).

Women would come to him, begging him to send their husbands home because they were drinking away their salaries, and there was then nothing left to feed the children.
