A Welcome From Dr. Larry Moyer |
|
God never meant evangelism to be a pain. He meant it to be a privilege. It is to be a delight, not a dread. Evangelism is not always seen as a privilege we do not deserve. One reason is that people say things in evangelism as though they are biblical when in fact they are not. Paul admonished Timothy to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). God begs the same of us. Too often verses are taken out of context and used to say something they are not saying. As a result, believers feel guilty about their evangelistic efforts. Christians are sometimes motivated to evangelize out of fear and shame, a defeating motivation God does not use. These misconceptions have decreased clarity in presenting the gospel.
This blog attempts to correct these misconceptions. A correct and biblical approach to evangelism enhances clarity. The message that is clear in His mind becomes clear in ours. Believers also begin to understand how God has given them an undeserved privilege – the privilege of making a difference in where people spend their eternal destiny. They can then evangelize the same way they are saved – out of grace not guilt.
May God use this blog to help you approach evangelism from a biblical perspective. May it excite you about what excites the heart of God – reaching the lost for Christ!

I want to express my enthusiasm for your work and for your marvelous ministry and the website. I plan to be a regular donee in the near future because I believe in what you are doing.
Having been a Baptist for over 50 years before becoming a member of a Bible church, I have noticed that Baptist, as a rule spend greater emphasis on evangelism than do Bible churches.
Thanks a lot for this resource to evangelise the lost in our communities God bless you so much for this creativity of helping us reach the lost. However pray for more laborers in the harvest fields and pray with us that God gives us more passion for the lost souls. God bless you big.
