Forgive Me For Waiting So Long To Tell You This





Forgive Me for Waiting so Long to Tell You This is one of the best books I have read on this topic. Forgive Me is written to nonbelievers, and it is designed for believers to pass on to their unsaved friends and loved ones. The title says it allā€”sometimes we hold the gospel message to ourselves, when it is a message that needs to be shared.

David Servant has done a wonderful job presenting the case for the readerā€™s need of salvation through Christ. In the opening chapter he refutes both atheism and evolution, making the case that there has to be a God.

From there he exposes the sinfulness of every living person, how we are all card carrying members of the ā€œsinnerā€™s clubā€ from birth, and that repentance is the only solution.

This book is perfect for any new believer to read to strengthen his faith and knowledge, and of course, it is also perfect for its intended audience, the unsaved. I would encourage Christians everywhere to get a copy of this book and pass it on to someone you know who needs Jesus.

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the ā€œAā€ word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the ā€œDā€ word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boyā€™s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he...

All Things To All Men

One of our favorite verses to use in our evangelism methods is where Paul said that he ā€œbecomes all things to all menā€ so that he might ā€œby all means save some (I Corinthians 9:22).ā€ This is certainly a good idea if we keep it in its proper context and application. For example, I remember a time in high school where I knew a kid that loved skateboarding. Being the chicken that I am, I was never a skateboarder. All he would talk about was skating, and I knew none of his lingo. But to help develop a relationship with him (he was new to our church and didnā€™t know many people), I brushed up on my skating lingo so I could ask if he had done any sick ollies lately (impressed?). This would be like Paul saying ā€œto the skateboarder, I became a skateboarder.ā€ This is effective and necessary. But then there are the people that use this verse to justify doing sinful things in the name of evangelism. The first one that comes to mind is about drinking. Some people will go into the bars to evan...

Evangelism

ā€œPreach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.ā€ St. Francis of Assisi is given credit for this famous quote (although that exact phrasing does not appear in any of his writings), and a lot of people would think that this is a great philosophy. His actual quote was that everyone should ā€œpreach by their deeds.ā€ Preaching with our deeds is not just a strategy, it is a necessity. We are commanded all through the Scriptures to let our light shine and be a peculiar people. People should be able to look at our lives and see that we are Christians. They should see the love of Christ readily on display, and thus feel compelled to live their lives in the same way. The sermon that we should preach with our lives is a sermon of love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, forgiveness, conviction, etc. But this idea that has emerged that says we should ONLY preach with our deeds is a heresy straight from the devil himself. Think about it: who is the one that does not want you t...
