    A great chasm exists that separates unbelievers from believers1. An example of this chasm is presented in the Gospel of Luke, “And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.”2 The chasm is presented in the “afar off” statement. This chasm, as pointed out by David Wheeler and Richard Leach, is what makes evangelism necessary. Essentially, every Christian is to seek a way to bridge these chasms bringing the unbeliever face-to-face with their Creator3. In order to perform this great task, and the task was as great in the Apostles’ day as today, “Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest”4 the Christian servant today must rely on the Lord in every aspect and seek out opportunities to present Christ to those around him. Seeing then that there is such great work ahead, and the laborers have been assigned their task, “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him”5, the only success to be found is through sharing the faith by the Word of God through the Spirit…

    Jonathan Edwards wrote this lecture, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” to preach to the congregation of his church during the period of Great Awakening, a time of religious revival. He knows how to persuade and uses numerous techniques to do so. In his sermons, Edward’s expressive, informative, and argumentative writing style and his use of simile, metaphor, personification, imagery, and tone creates a fearful, emotional image in the minds of his readers.…

    Fay's work Share Jesus Without Fear is a highly systematic method that is meant to be used as guide for otherwise ineffective christians share the Gospel. Fay begins the book by sharing his extremely sinful past and his path to redemption. Fay follows with his frank criticisms of evangelicals.

On page six Fay shares his…

    In this paper, Rankin has presented a challenging and enriching way to point out the seriousness, and need to define and stress Satan’s tactic and schemes in this battle. This book is presents another powerful reminder, that God is actively involved in the lives of those that diligently seek him. This book has provided a great deal of advice for any Christian that is interested in living to glorify God. One bit of advice that stuck with me through reading this book, and advice that has been etched in my heart, and in my spirit as I continue on the battlefield for the Lord, he wrote, “Keep the view from the throne. If we will look at life’s experiences from God’s perspective and what His Word says, then we will not be deceived by Satan who is seeking to defeat us by his lies, distorting reality from God’s kingdom perspective. It’s not really difficult to believe God.”…

    As part of the Christian faith during 18th century revivals, three practices evolved forming their own interpretation on the place and authority of Scripture in Christian faith. The first of these were the Liberals who "viewed themselves as the saviors of a defunct out of date Christianity," they wanted to connect with people and bring them into the faith, not scare them with a set of rules (Bingham 149). Their founder, Friedrich Schleiermacher an 18th century pastor, felt that the Scripture and other doctrines of the faith were not of the utmost importance in the Christian practice and were not needed in daily life (150). Instead of focusing on the holiness of The Trinity, Liberal's placed more emphasis on doctrines of sin and grace, and the emotional aspect of the faith (Kerr 213). Jesus was viewed as a historical figure that the church can learn from spiritually, and the Bible as a source of knowledge on Christian history (Bingham 152, 153). In this theological movement being a Christian is considered "nothing but feeling and experience," the hard facts taught in the Bible didn't matter so much as the believers feel that they are saved by the faith and are destined for Heaven (Lane 238).…

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    Grounded in one’s core beliefs’ is the assumptions that guide their thought process (Walsh, 2013). People's assumptions are the second major concept within CBT, and this includes how a person perceives themselves and how they view others (Gladstone, 2017). In the case study, Asif has constructed a false misconception of himself that has been reinforced by his tendency to think negatively about the past and current life events (Walsh, 2013). This point confirms that there is a connection between one’s schemas and the assumptions they make. One of Asif's assumptions is based on the belief that no girls would like him because he is a "nice guy." He expressed that he witnessed girls who only friend guys that behave as "jerks" as boyfriend material.…

    21st century discipleship

    Some Christians would disagree with this statement and say it is even easier to be a disciple in the 21st century. In this century there are churches all over the world and technology that could help. They would also say this wrong in concerning regular church goers as they would be turned away from sin and be receiving the Holy Spirit. They would also say there are a lot of priests and nuns going out carrying Jesus’ cross and have dedicated their whole life to him. There are also catechists who help to bring the younger generation of the faith. Many Christians find Peters denial of knowing Jesus helpful, they feel that they cannot understand all Jesus' teaching, they may have failed and deserted Jesus, but knowing that those who were closest to Jesus, could still do this, encourages them to struggle on as Christians.…
