“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). Revelation 3:20 has been used by many as an evangelistic verse. Indeed for years I used it as such in my personal […]
By Bob Bryant “Try it! You’ll like it!” Some of you may remember that slogan from an Alka-Seltzer TV commercial you saw many years ago. I would like to say the same thing to you about the Lord’s Supper: “Try it! You’ll like it!” In previous articles, I showed you the biblical evidence for a […]
By Bob Bryant Years ago, if I had read the title, “The Lord’s Supper: A Biblical Foundation for Evangelism,” I would have been perplexed. In my mind, the traditional practice of the Lord’s Supper has little, if any, connection to evangelism. The Bible tells us, however, that our church practices, including our practice of the […]
The Romans Road is a popular evangelistic method which walks through a number of verses in Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. While I personally don’t like the way in which most people explain Romans 10:9-10 in that presentation, I do like the way Romans 3:23 is usually presented. However, recently it dawned on me that […]
Calvin and English Calvinism to 1649. By R.T. Kendall (London, England: Paternoster, 1997. Originally published by Oxford Press, 1981.) 263 pp. (Paper), $35.00. “Salvation (Justification/Reconciliation) is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.” I have rarely met any Protestant who does not, in some way, affirm that phrase. Yet what one means by […]
The title of my two-part article may lead you to expect a discussion on how to do personal evangelism. Hopefully you will get some ideas about personal work from these articles, but this is not my major objective. Instead I want to discuss how grace theology should affect the way we present the gospel, whether […]
Hal M. Haller The gospel according to Jesus has been a hot topic since the first century (cf. Gal 1:6-9). A book by that name was published a decade ago. Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler was used prominently by the author in defense of his thesis that to be saved one must yield […]
David R. Anderson Pastor Faith Community Church The Woodlands, TX Introduction In every “system” of theology there are certain doctrines so imbedded in that system that to uproot them would fell the entire tree. In his excellent work on epistemology, David Wolfe explains that good systematic theology requires four criteria to even qualify as a […]
By Phil Congdon One of the evident characteristics of the late-twentieth century religious scene, which has only intensified in the new millennium, is the desire of disparate confessions to find common ground. While the spirit of ecumenism has often been little more than a euphemism for the dissolution of any distinctiveness in theological expression, it […]
The Purpose Driven Church: Growth Without Compromising Your Message & Mission. By Rick Warren. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1995. 399 pp. (Cloth), $24.95. It is easy to see why so many churches today are “converting” to the “purpose driven church” model for church growth. What makes this new model so interesting is that it […]
In the 1970s, British philosopher Antony Flew coined the phrase, “No true Scotsman.” This expression stands for a well-known logical fallacy: A proponent of a position attempts to protect that position from...
