Willing to Serve Its Participants
We must work through all the obstacles that stand in the way of enthusiastically investing in the gospel’s harvest because the goal is worthy and the rewards are great!
evangelism
Joyful About Its Progress
We should be much more ambitious and optimistic about sharing the gospel because until Christ returns there are more people in this world who need to and will be saved!
Sold Out for Its Advancement
As participants in the gospel’s benefits, we must enthusiastically embrace the responsibility and calling of being gospel emissaries to everyone else.
Building Bridges for God’s Kingdom
We must enthusiastically accept our divinely assigned privilege and responsibility of representing Christ in our everyday world.
Extending the Reach of the Lordship of Christ
God has called us to reach out to those around us, doing what we can to bring others under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Understanding God's Short-Term Response to Sin
We must understand that God temporarily tolerates (co-exists) with sin and allows people to plow headlong into increasing sin until the day of judgment; this does not reflect a lack of power on God’s part, but only patience and grace until his coming.
Getting Over Our Feelings to Share the Good News
Feeling awkward or even scared when talking about the gospel is normal, even expected, but we have to power through the feelings to be obedient representatives of the most important message in the world.
Recalling Our Primary Earthly Task
God is calling us to thoughtfully and eagerly engage our world with the good news of repentance and faith in Christ.
What to Give a King
While it is hard to imagine serving an invisible God or a Jesus we’ve never seen, God receives our faith, our obedience and our anticipation of Christ’s soon return as our reasonable and appropriate service to his Son.
When Your Passions Meet Your Prerogatives
Don’t let the exercise of your freedoms put you in harms way; steer clear of situations which might tempt you to sin.
When the Monastery is Not an Option
We must purposefully remain in the world while being vigilant to keep worldliness out of the church.
Being Wise When the World Calls You Stupid
We dare not give into the temptation of repackaging the truth into a more palatable form when presenting the wisdom of the gospel to people who seem to not be getting it.
Preparing to Give More Than Just the Facts
To be an effective Courier of Christ we must do more than give the “gospel facts” – we must present it & ourselves in kind, pertinent & intelligent words.
Avoiding the Enemy's Evangelistic Sabotage
Even if we master the message, we can never be successful Couriers for Christ unless our lives match the message!
Mastering the Message Entrusted for Delivery
The gospel must be properly understood & accurately communicated if we are going to be faithful to our calling as Christ’s couriers.
Three Prayers Your Non-Christian Friends Need You to Pray
Evangelism is impossible without God; so pray about every aspect of sharing your faith with others.
The World’s Only Hope
We must be painfully aware of the need to get the gospel out to those who have yet to hear it, and then we do something about it.
Seeing Beyond This Zip Code
We ought to have a passion for seeing the gospel bear fruit and grow, but our concern shouldn’t be limited to our corner of the world.
