Evangelism is the duty of every believer. In Colossians 4:2-6, the apostle Paul gives us clear instruction about how we are to do the work of evangelism. Paul begins by telling us that if we want to be effective in evangelism, we must give constant attention and priority to prayer. Prayer must have a central place in the life of a Christian. There are two reasons why we must be devoted to prayer. 1. Prayer allows us to develop and maintain an intimate relationship with God. Through prayer, God purposes

the example of a hardship, and the claim that weakness is an asset. It is concluded that Paul is using very different criteria than the Corinthians to support the findings of a true apostle. Keywords: Corinthians, Paul, boast, weakness Corinthian or Christ-Centered Criteria? In 2 Corinthians 12:1 – 10, the Apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthians to make a spirited defense against

Women have played a major part in Christianity and are an example of the unevenness of women’s commitments to history. Women like Mary Magdalene were at the cross and the first at the vacant tomb. Conventional Christianity trusted that the announcements credited to St. Paul in I Timothy 2 that women were made second, sinned first, and ought to keep quiet. Women traditionalists accepted and acknowledged these lessons as genuine. Jesus' activities as indicated by the Bible reliably resonate his confidence

Persecution was a continuous problem for the early church as the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ began to spread. One of the most zealous persecutors of the early church determined to stop the proliferation of this message was a Pharisee named Saul of Tarsus. Therefore, to demonstrate that salvation and redemption are for everyone, Jesus called Saul to help spread the Gospel. This calling was so important that Luke described it three times in Acts. First, in Acts 9:1-30, then again as

The apostle Paul was known to many as Saul of Tarsus. There is no doubt he was born to Jewish parents whose residence was in the city of Tarsus of Cilicia. In the Book of Acts 23:6, his own admission relates that he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, but he was also a son of a Pharisee. In Phil. 3:4-5, Paul states that he was from the tribe of Benjamin. At an early age, Paul was taught in tent-making according to Acts 18:3. At an early age, he was sent to Jerusalem to study under a well-known teacher by the

The division between Jews and Christians did not begin with the death of Christ. Indeed, many of his teachings have been lost forever for none of his disciples ever wrote a single word down. Although this religion, established solidly upon this man, does not even regard Jesus in most of the New Testament (Collier). The man behind the curtain, the usurper, and divider

day he would be resurrected. Jesus died to pay the sin debt of the world. The Lord led a sinless life, but was the one who took on the sins of the world. There is no other person who has had as much of an impact in history as Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul, who once rejected Jesus Christ, later became one of the greatest men of God. In the history of the Christian church, he was the most significant missionary. He was

Paul the apostle is known for his letters in the Bible to the church in Philippi. Paul devotes his faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to promote Christianity to the people of the Philippians. He is seen throughout the New Testament furthering God’s Word and projecting it in such a way to get fellow Jewish people to convert to Christianity. In the midst of this activity, Paul was travelling in between cities when a mob broke out against him. Israelites were furious with him spreading the
