The nearer we get to Christ, the more missionary we become.” A missions mind-set can easily be described as another expression of obedience flowing out of an intimate relationship with our Lord. Both individual believers and churches that desire to have the mind of Christ will also have a heart for the nations.-Ken Sorrellmi familiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16661623601528017892noreply@blogger.comBlogger2161100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31813709.post-62127019512845486012009-04-23T22:44:00.001-05:002009-04-23T22:44:59.741-05:00

Preparation through PrayerWhenever you share the good news of Christ you are involved in spiritual warfare. Our enemy, the devil, does not want people to be saved. He is a liar, thief and destroyer of lives. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). We must be prepared for a spiritual battle when we

If you attend a church that has an alter call at the end of the service, here are some ways that it can be botched.1. Present an unbalanced message. Only let them see the heart-warming part of God’s character. Preach God’s love but leave out His holiness and justice. That way they’ll think He’ll let them into heaven no matter what.2. Don’t mention repentance until they’re repeating a “sinner’s

Billy Graham is now 86 years old with Parkinson's disease. In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte , North Carolina , invited their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honor. Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, 'We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you.' So he agreed.

Healthy attitudes on short-term mission tripsYou shall not forget that you represent your home country and the Lord Jesus Christ.You shall not expect that things will be the same as they are at home, for you have left your home to find different things. [ mono-culturalism ]You shall not take minor things too seriously. Accepting things as they are paves the way for a good mission trip.You shall

Unhealthy attitudes on short-term mission trips Believe it or not, it's possible to have a bad short-term missions experience. Most times, this is not the fault of the situation or organization. Often, the root cause is the short-termer's own attitudes and expectations.To maximize your short-term experience, AVOID doing the things on this Top Ten checklist:1. Keep narrowly focused on "spiritual"

Sales and Christianity—Mark Dever 9 MarksA few years ago, after a Sunday morning service, a visitor came up to me, took me by the hand, pulled me close to himself and said, “Dr. Dever, I just want you to know that was one of the best sales presentations Ive ever heard in my life. But there was only one problem: you didn’t close the sale!”I didn’t really know how to respond to him. I didn’t say

Proselytism and evangelism are not the same thing. To proselytize is to convert somebody else to our opinions and culture, and to squeeze him into our mould; to evangelize is to proclaim God’s good news about Jesus Christ to the end that people will believe in him, find life in him and ultimately be conformed to his image, not ours. The motive behind proselytism is concern for the spread of our

I met Coach Joe Lombard at the state tournament in 1999. I asked him what made him successful, expecting to hear him say something like "hard work, diligence, attention to details" or the like. However what he said caught me completly off guard. You do not hear coaches make statements like the one he made. You might hear preachers reply similarly, but even then, sadly enough, I do not think that

As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'“God has called me to preach His word and if I knew that all the elect had a yellow stripe painted down their backs, then I would give up preaching the gospel and go lift up shirt tails!”How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they

I am not one to listen to hip hop.

Unfortunately the battle between Calvinism and Arminianism results in severe immaturity, as displayed above. Yes, with great remorse, being one who holds the Doctrines of Grace dear, I have fit the illustration above . . . to a "T". I too, have acted just as obnoxious as "Art the Arminian".I understand the Calvinist position. I am able to see God's sovereignty painted from Genesis to Revelation.

"These destroyers of our churches appear to be as content with their work as monkeys with their mischief. That which their fathers would have lamented they rejoice in: the alienation of the poor and simple-minded from their ministry they accept as a compliment, and the grief of the spiritually-minded they regard as an evidence of their power."-C.H. Spurgeon

The following can be found at Todd Pruitt's Blog "1517"."Nathan Finn of Southeastern Seminary gave a very helpful address on common misconceptions about Baptist Calvinists. He offered five myths that are often held about Baptist Calvinists":Myth 1 – Calvinism is a threat to evangelism. Of course this is nonsense. Less than two hundred years ago most Protestants were Calvinists. The founders of
