Winning Souls Starts With Loving People. Christian evangelism has too often focused on "winning souls" to the exclusion of meeting real, everyday needs. Yet Jesus' earthly ministry followed a different pattern: He reached for people on the margins. He touched people no one else would touch. He spoke hope to people consumed by despair. And as the Lord extended Himself in compassion to meet the needs of the sick, the lost, and the hopeless, people turned...

Some are blind from birth, while others, like Helen Keller, are blinded by illness. Still others lose sight through accidents or progressive disease. I submit no one would choose to go through life without sight. And, yet the church today is certainly blindfolded.
I do not believe the blindness of the church happened suddenly. There have been brilliant moves of God in the church since the Lord's ascension. However, it has been a slow, methodical...

Because of the more aggressive and confrontational tactics we hear about, evangelism has developed a bad connotation. Doors are shut hurriedly, phone calls end abruptly, and e-mails left unanswered.
After all, isn't this a task better handled by the pastor?
Perhaps it's time to reexamine John Wesley's model of evangelism as a full, natural circle-where it's a communal beginning point rather than a solitary end.
The central motive of authentic evangelism...

It is easy to sit in the comfort of one's own righteousness and bemoan how every other revival, denomination, and ministry is preaching the wrong gospel. But who, then, is doing it right?
Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. God allows...

This book invites its readers to rediscover the lost the art of...

Keep them from the Evil will awaken your senses to why we have to go through the test and trials of life and are expected not only to endure but to thrive. If you are like me, I thought after learning the Lord's Prayer in the Bible, I had received a free pass to fun in the sun and rides on the celestial clouds. As I have grown in the things of God, I know when Jesus declared he would "keep them from evil," he was telling us to get ready for some of...
