INTRODUCTION This course has had a great impact on my walk with Christ as well as my witness for Christ. I pastor a church and teach two classes and for me I thought that I was doing plenty. However this course has helped rekindle my passion for sharing Jesus Christ with people through personal evangelism. This paper will demonstrate what I have learned throughout this course.
EVANGELISM AS IT RELATES TO CHRISTIAN WALK In Philippians 1:27, Paul writes; “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in I told here where I was the pastor and how we would love to the opportunity to come and pick up her children and teenagers for church. She told me that she would, “never” allow her children to go to church where I pastor. I have never met this lady and to my knowledge her children never came to any function so I was interesting in the reason for not letting her children come to my church. She said; “I remember growing up in that church and all they did was fight and split and I won’t send my kids to that church.” I apologized for the mistakes that had happened before I became pastor and assured her that things have changed, but it made little difference to her. I encouraged her to at least go to church somewhere but her response was clear; “I don’t need church and all the problems. If God’s people can’t get along, why do I want to be one of them?” Her statement was a like a cold ice bath, it shook me up and shocked me to the core of my soul. I walked away from the house and I thought about the lessons from this course. The church must be accountable in our vertical worship because it greatly effects people around us. We must walk worthy of the gospel of Christ and treat each other like we truly love each other. Jesus said; “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you
resurrection are often referred to as the Gospel, meaning the Good News and the promise of salvation and eternal life for all people, through His divine grace. As Christian believers, we have a responsibility to share the Gospel. The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the pamphlet called “The Story.” This pamphlet is an evangelistic tool that outlines not only the story of Jesus Christ, but also from the beginning of creation until Jesus' return (or from Genesis to Revelations).

With the vast array of religions practiced worldwide, there is bound to be some confusion for anyone outside of a particular religious culture looking in. I found this to be the case for myself when considering Hinduism. This paper will highlight the misconceptions I faced prior to studying the Hindu religion, as well as taking a look at how these preconceived notions were debunked. Finally, I will examine how religions can be so astoundingly misunderstood and how religious sects can combat this…
sent the Son to reconcile humanity through his life, death and resurrection and in return the Son sends the Spirit to create and lead the church as His presence to continue His ministry of reconciling humanity to itself and to the Father. In this paper I will look at what the church’s response has been towards the oppressed and argue that the church as Gods presence is to share in the suffering of the oppressed. I have chosen to use the word “oppressed” to refer to those who live in poverty and…

The Providence Debate Barbara J. Best Theology 350 July 3, 2013 When one defines God’s providence it is referring to the way God governs the world.

It is not surprising that there is some disagreement in the evangelical world concerning the control of God, His dealing with salvation especially as affected by Jesus and the freewill of mankind. Some theologians think that the three are in contradictory of each other. Are…

produced a book that is visually and spiritually stimulating. This combination of layout and words builds a bridge to areas of our memory where we recall bits and pieces and reassemble them into a new whole. All who read have shared together. The paper, ink, words, and illustrations are no longer two dimensional. They become round, full and vibrant. As I ponder the work of Momaday, I consider my own journey. What memories have I entrusted to others? What paths have I taken? What have I created…
