The Lord Calls And The Gospel With The World

In their book, The Great Commission to Worship, Vernon Whaley and David Wheeler takes an in depth look at commandment from Jesus for His followers to go out and spread the Good News of salvation. Today’s Christian seems to have a misconception about their role in evangelism. As the authors stated, “many times in Scripture it appears

WAHOO! Another year has flown by, summer is creeping up on us, and this means that yet another life-changing experience is approaching me leaving my heart and mind ever so anxious. The 2018 mission trip will take place in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and I couldn’t be more excited to add more fuel to my fire for Jesus that has been growing in my heart. In a few short weeks, I will have the opportunity to travel with the Marathon FCA group to the reservations to assist in building houses, work in the image and likeness of Jesus giving the people reasons to smile, and change the lives of many through simple, yet huge, acts of kindness. I have been involved in my FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) group ever since I was a freshman,

As a teen, I had the opportunity to volunteer on a summer mission trip that focused on serving the homeless population in San Francisco. Stricken by poverty and drug addictions the Tenderloin District was unlike anything I had ever seen. Instead of passing judgment or feeling intimidated, I chose to serve these people with compassion and respect. What I experienced during this time was transformational and helped to direct me on a pathway towards service.

In his book Share Jesus Without Fear, William Fay lays out an easy and attainable way for one to reach people for Christ. A former mobster, and prostitution house owner, Fay says that if “God can take somebody like me and change him, he can take anybody in your life and change him as well.”1 In an easy to understand, comprehensive way, Fay shows how to overcome your fears and witness to those who are lost. By breaking down the six most common excuses one uses not

1) Mark 16:15 says, “He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”

I am writing to you today to tell you about an exciting opportunity I have through my school, Liberty Christian. My senior class will be going on a mission trip to COSTA RICA from Saturday, May 6, 2017 to Friday, May 12th. During this time, we will be working with the mission agency SCORE International in order to serve God by serving the Costa Rican people. We will have opportunities to serve and minister to the people we meet through various service opportunities, such as: children’s ministry, preaching, drama, and humanitarian aid distribution.

Christ is the central person in Christian discipleship. Without Christ, Christianity would not exist and there would be no followers of Christ. To be true followers of Christ, believers must be willing to learn of the ways and teachings of Christ. Christ is central to Christian discipleship because He is the teacher of His disciples. Through the Holy Spirit and Word of God, Jesus Christ calls His disciples to Him and then

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

Amidst the Second Great Revival in the early 19th century, many Americans were inspired to go abroad and preach the word of God . These American Protestants believed that the people of the world needed to be saved and civilized . Most of the missionaries were sent and supported by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The missionaries’ Protestant beliefs and American values were incontestably linked. The missionaries assigned by the ABCFM to the Ottoman Empire soon found that they were forbidden to convert the Muslim majority. They instead focused their attentions on the Christian minorities of the Empire. These groups included the Armenians, Greeks, the Assyrians, and others . The minorities’ way of life shocked the missionaries. The Ottoman peoples lived in a very different manner than the Americans, leading to the natives being considered savages by the missionaries. ABCFM books of the time described the Ottoman Christians as “slow of intellect” and their way of life as “primitive.” The American missionaries’ goal then became to civilize these people and teach them to be good Christians. Their efforts would stretch through the 19th century . The effects of the missionaries’ civilizing attempts arguably affected the Ottomans more than their Christian teachings. The ABCFM missionaries’ sought to enlighten the Ottoman Christians by redefining the role of women, expanding education, and spreading American ideals of progress.

The Midnight Mission afforded me the opportunity to serve individuals experiencing homelessness in Skid Row, Los Angeles.

That’s basically what happens in our culture when it comes to self-esteem. In our culture, people are valued for how they look, what they can, and what they have but rarely for WHO THEY ARE. You have to be ‘beautiful’ by a mathematical standard - and believe me there is a mathematical ratio. So we need to take the price tag and put it back as it should be.

As I look around and see so many people in darkness oblivious to the need of a Savior or even what he has done for us it truly breaks my heart. I see so many hopeless, hurting and, abandoned souls that need to know that God loves them and will never leave them nor forsake them according to. When I serve at my church in the food pantry and see the countless of individuals coming into the pantry for natural food but also in need of spiritual food. Jesus said that “man should not live off bread alone but by every word that proceeds out the mouth of God” Matthew 4:4. Observing these things makes my purpose very clear to me. For Jesus told us to “Go into the entire world and preach the gospel to every creature.” As I submit to God and his call I pray in doing so I hope that souls would be

In spring of 2016, my youth group and I began planning a trip to a neighboring city. This wasn’t just any trip however, we were going on a mission. Each of us there were bound and determined to

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

When sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we must have a heart for God, because if we have a heart for God, we can have a heart for His people. Through evangelism, we can reach the non-believers in effort to convert them over to Christianity, so they can experience the love of Jesus Christ. Evangelism is the core, the heart that leads non-believers to salvation. As they repent and confess their sins, they become a part of Jesus Christ family, and the power of the Holy Spirit is imparted into them (Doerksen, 2012, p. 3).
