Website of the Week

27 08 2009

Back after it’s own summer vacation, Website of the Week returns with a site dedicated to equipping you in the practical aspects of evangelism…

“Evangelism Explosion is a ministry that trains people how to share their faith in Christ and how to bring people from unbelief to belief. It utilizes a variety of components including prayer, actual on-the-job training where the experienced lead the inexperienced, and the principle of spiritual multiplication.”

The section I found most useful is the Answers to Tough Questions page. Assuming that people you are sharing your faith with have questions (and they will), it takes a systematic look at how to go through the most common problems people have with Christianity. So it starts with broad questions about the nature of Truth before gradually focusing more and more on Christian issues, from the authority of the Bible right down to hypocrites within the church.

The answers it gives are concise and might help you to formulate your own thoughts a bit more so you can feel more equipped to give an answer for the hope that you have (1 Peter 3:15). Clever arguments should never be the main method of evangelism – demonstrating the love and power of God should be – but we neglect a clear knowledge of what (and why) we believe at our peril. So hopefully this site will throw a couple more tools in your evangelism utility belt!





Back in Business!

Hi all,

Sorry it’s been so long since the last post, forgot to mention I was going on holiday. I hope you’ve all had an interesting few weeks – i’d love to hear about them. Especially you guys who went to Momentum – any good testimonies?!

Daniel Bashta

Have you got his EP, My Worship In Motion, yet? If not, why not? It’s a high quality worship album and is available for free over at danielbashta.com. There’s other bits and bobs on the website too, such as chord charts for the songs, so it’s worth having a poke around. I genuinely think his stuff is very anointed and it really encourages me to worship – it sounds good too! So what are you waiting for?!

Podcasts

Don’t forget about the Vinelife podcasts that are available in the sidebar -> You’ll be able to keep up with all the Sunday morning teaching from VCM. It’s been a great summer that has seen the conclusion of our Ezra series as well as a series on Romans 8 called Expanding your mind. Enjoy!
