Cold Hearers

By
So far in our evangelism series, I've shared what the Gospel is, why we are to share our faith (part I and part II), and I've shared a few tools to share our faith.  Today, I'm going to share a sermon that deals with how to share with particularly hard hearers. 

I ran across a message preached at Sovereign Grace Church - Fairfax, VA.  To be honest, it was completely by accident - I was looking for a message at a different Sovereign Grace church.  This sermon was in the middle of their evangelism series from the beginning of 2012, and I was very much blessed by it.

Rather than try to recap the highlights, I asked permission of the church to post this message here.  Originally shared on February 22, 2012, guest speaker Randy Newman preached a message about the effectiveness of using questions in sharing the Gospel.  The main thrust of his message was how to effectively use questions to get the hearer thinking. His ideas work especially well for those at A, B, C, F, G on the timeline of salvation (you'll need to listen to the message to understand that reference). 

Please view the video below, and please share your reactions in the comments below.  Also, please consider sharing your reactions, especially positive reactions, over at the church's website.





Thank you to Sovereign Grace Church - Fairfax for allowing us to learn along with them through this message.  Be sure to check out the other messages in their "Go into all the World" series.  This is a great resource.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
