This is what lifestyle evangelism is at its core, living the Christian life in front of unbelievers. Joseph C. Aldrich explains, “In the truest sense, evangelism is displaying the universals of God’s character-His love, His righteousness, His justice and His faithfulness-through the particulars of my everyday life.” At first glance life-style evangelism may seem too simplistic to work, but upon closer inspection the power and effectiveness of it is seen. Evangelizing through everyday life and experiences takes the Gospel to every kind of unsaved persons. Plumbers on the job site, secretaries in the office, and children in the home all have a shining example of Jesus to reach for when their lives get tough. When they are overcome with guilt and worn down by this life, they know exactly who to go to. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in

Christianity and Buddhism have their own specific ways of diffusion. Christianity has spread due to hierarchical diffusion. Dominance of Christianity in the Roman Empire took place in the 4th century through hierarchical diffusion. Constantine encouraged Christianity in 313. Christianity is also spread through relocation diffusion. Due to the Bible having a mandate for Christians to spread the Word of God, Christians have created missionaries to do exactly that. Missionaries are individuals who help to transmit a universalizing religion through relocation diffusion. They carried the teachings of Jesus through the Roman Empire.

Evangelism is described as a three-way cord; building relationships, sharing the gospel, and introducing people to community. The authors encourage the Gospel and the Word to stay central, as well as community involvement and helping the needy in the name of Christ. There is a great emphasis on home groups (the authors are themselves home-group leaders), and how this practice makes church planting easier. The togetherness of this practice aids in ones spiritual growth because one cannot become holy on his

There are many ways Christians can share the gospel with those around them. One way is the Dare 2 Share Live that is happening on October 13th, 2018. This event was created to mobilize some 25,000 teenagers in their own communities. It will be from coast-to-coast and include encompass 100 different cities. The purpose is to equip these teens to go out and share the good news of Jesus with their classmates and friends. Equipping teens themselves to reach their peers makes the most sense as they are the ones who have the opportunity to share Christ's love with those around them day in and day out.

Living life as a Christian, in many ways is difficult in that there is always a war being fought by the enemy for your faith. Dickson insists that, “there are clear New Testament passages urging us all to speak up for Christ when we can” (Dickson, 101). Christians are called to a life of spreading the gospel to all mankind and nations. Dickson urges that the gospel is the announcement of our King coming to make all things new again. Christian’s are called by Jesus Himself to spread this news and work of God’s anointed King and messiah Jesus! The main nugget Christians should take from this is how everyone is not an evangelists, however, Christians are clearly called to proclaim Christ from our lips as well as

Evangelism is a passion of mine and this semester has helped me to develop more as a person and strengthen my passion for evangelism. Usually when you hear the word Evangelism most of the time, you will start to fear because of rejection. During my Christian walk, sometimes I have experienced the fear of rejection as it relates to Evangelism. However, this semester has taught me not to fear." Evangelism is standing up for your faith even if everyone else remains seated 1(Earley and Wheeler

Discussion of three Methods of Evangelism their effectiveness and possible shortcomings and which method would be suitable for the author to use.

The task of my choosing is for the revival of a church that is lukewarm toward evangelism and now is just sitting and waiting for God to move when God is waiting for the members to move. Jesus’s message to the church of Laodicea is found in Rev. 3:16 (KJV), “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth”.

The “Intellectual” method of evangelism that I chose to research is the Four Spiritual Laws. In summary this method is one of the simplest to use when you want to present the Gospel to someone. It was originally written as a booklet by Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, who was motivated by the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) in 1952 as a quick and efficient way to teach people how they can be saved. The Four Spiritual Laws use Scripture to convict, convince and convert. They are:

Diane J. Hymans suggests that evangelism and education suggests a variety of meanings and that it is a matter of language that is clouding what the connotation of the definitions of evangelism, discipleship, and education are (Hymans). She states that evangelism is “making the gospel known in church and world”, while education “invites people to understand and claim their identity as baptized children of God and to clarify their vocation as people called by God to live lives characterized by love of God and neighbor” (Hymans).

Christians are commanded in the Bible to take the gospel into all the world. God desires that all people know Him. However, since He is in heaven and not on the earth now, it is up to His people to show others the way to Him. Much of that testimony for Christ is through the way Christians lives are lived. It is well known that

Another way evangelism relates to the Christian walk is that we as Christians relate to each other. Wheeler and Whaley remind us that it is important for the members of the church to get along and love one another. I was going on a witnessing tour through our neighborhood and came across a home that was filled
