Just four words. They jumped off the page and careened off the corners of my mind. Jesus said this in response to the disciples’ amazement of the cursed fig tree’s appearance. Yesterday it was healthy and luscious, today it was dead “from the roots up”. While Christ was using it as a teaching tool to … Continue reading »

How Does the Community View Our Church?
I grew up in a “separatist” Church. Secondary separation was normal, as was protesting, if not boycotting, various stores, restaurants or manufacturers of toothpaste. We tapered our hair, forced girls to wear culottes, and demanded only one version of the bible was good enough to use. This English bible was so good that if you … Continue reading »
What a glimpse of God can do…

How to Overcome Fear (in evangelism) by Ray Comfort (pt.2)

Why is it that on the average, only 2% … Continue reading »
How to Get on Fire for God by Ray Comfort (pt.1)
Below are some notes I took while at an evangelism conference in Indianapolis, IN, July 24-26. There were 6 sessions, but I am unsure that I’ll have six parts to this series. Enjoy.
