Evangelism

between the “New Lights” and the “Old Lights”. Also, the Great Awakening introduced a new type of thinking and teaching. The new thinking involved the idea that anyone could receive salvation, and the new teaching accommodated to this new belief. Evangelism was this new way of preaching and was received best by the “New Lights”. This new belief and way of preaching, however, was not accepted by the “Old Lights”, thus the separation and creation of new denominations in the Christianity. Because…

long as he lived on earth. One more interesting fact about Daniel’s good habit of prayer was that he prayed in public. He did not have any cares as to whether people would think him crazy or not. He simply used his daily practice of prayer as an evangelism tool to…

1.How do the statements of Jesus in texts such as Matthew 5:17-20, 6:14-15, and 7:1-2 align with the Christian doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ? There are multiple ways the texts from the sermon on the mount align with Christian doctrine and salvation through Christ. Jesus’ messages from the sermon on the mount model the need of grace to be saved. According to Jesus in one of the passages listed above, “unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the…

every gift mentioned there. So I decided to start backwards. After spending a few days praying and really considering each spiritual gift, I was able to rule a few out. Spiritual gifts I definitely do not have are prophecy, miracles, tongues, and evangelism. Those gifts I felt least interested in and after praying about them, I realized I’d never seen them acting in my life. A spiritual gift I discovered I do have is the gift…

chapter called rethinking salvation, Wright explains more in detail the meaning of salvation and the kingdom of God that would help radically shift our way of approaching the mission of the church. In the second chapter, ideas of justice, beauty and evangelism are explored in the building of the kingdom. The final topic of the book focuses on reshaping the church in terms of the future hope discussed in previous sections. The two aspects in the chapter are about biblical roots and living for the…

The Holy Spirit will manifest the present need of the people through you, which might not necessarily meant speaking in tongues. God will give you the utterance to speak in tongues if and only if it will be of great benefit to the people around you. The genuine speaking in tongues from God has no pride and does not cause confusion or distraction in the House of the Lord. Act chapter 10 verses 44 say: “Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who had heard the…

In a world where there are 4200 globally recognized religions, creating a universal definition of religion must be a difficult task. I associate religion with a feeling of comfort and fellowship. I define religion as a set of beliefs corresponding to a religious routine. Although people might take different approaches to the same set of beliefs, I wouldn’t consider someone an active follower without a somewhat frequent acknowledgment of their religion. Naturally, my definition isn’t perfect. Not…

relate to Early explain why he never told his friend. “The enemy was trying to keep him from hearing. Therefore, he was blinding my friend’s “spiritual eyes” from “seeing” the gospel and blocking his “spiritual ears” from “hearing” it. Effective evangelism is a spiritual battle.” (Ibid.) I guess I should be including this in my testimony some how. But people always look at me like I am…

allowed for their students to participate in athletics after a week of learning is finished. Even then these athletics should encourage manliness and “readiness for battle”, similar to the Puritans. Chapter Four follows with the American frontier evangelism focusing on the suffrage of Christ on the Cross, advocating for a masculine movement to take place. A “selling-the-gospel” mentality was developed and competition was finally encouraged especially between denominations. Emotional…

Throughout my life I was given the chance to be a leader many times. Whether it be from lacrosse, church activities, school clubs and AFJROTC at my school. Before going into leadership myself I thought that a leader had to be a really strong and courageous person. Although those characteristics are true, many other factors go into it as well. This past summer I was chosen to be a small group leader for a mission trip to Yucatan, Mexico with my church youth group. As a small group leader I had…
