Church & Ministry

Last night I went out witnessing and passed out many tracts from several different tract ministries. I spoke with many, and challenged many with the gospel. Some in my area are so indoctrinated by culture christianity, that when I politely asked them if they knew the gospel, and how to get saved, they got real defensive. Others did not pretend to be a believer that does not know the gospel and openly were hostile to the message. I think these type are more sincere and honest, over the phonies that say they are Christians, yet, do not know the gospel.

Can anyone provide some names of Missionaries or works in Japan that our church could pray for?

Thank you.

Q: You have been in public ministry for more than 50 years now, in your 43rd year at Grace Community Church, preparing to finish the Gospel of Mark in July, which will mean that you have preached verse by verse through every book in the New Testament.






• A monumental, profound day in redemptive history, Tuesday of Passion Week



• Saturday, he had stopped in Bethany to visit with his friends Mary, Martha, and recently-resurrected Lazarus



• Best understanding is that Jesus remained in Bethany Sunday and crowds came to see him there and to see Lazarus, an immense curiosity

Since there have been a few people that have thought I was suggesting that I believed in the whole 2012 thing I have edited it a bit. Hopefully it is more clear. I also placed my first order for 10,000 they are 3.5 x 4.75 on 14 pt cardstock. Again if anyone is interested please send me a pm. God bless. :)

I have been having thoughts on trying to balance out my street preaching style and method. Currently my method models that of the old fashioned Fundamentalist. However Ray Comfort of Way of the Master and his followers have challenged me a little. Ray Comfort adapts a teaching/preaching approach where he uses signs, bill boards, passes out money, and uses other tactics to get the crowds attention and to speak on their level. I have noticed that people are far more responsive to this method of street preaching, verses the old fashioned evangelistic style.

Our church is considering changing the hymnal it uses. We currently use Great Hymns of the Faith. We love this hymnal, but would at least like to consider some options. We are considering switching to Majesty Hymns. As far as we know, that hymnal best reflects the doctrine/tradition of our church.

Many churches are under attack from the enemy, with counterfeit revivals, demonic manifestations, occult practices, Mysticism, New Age …

How could so many church leaders be easily misled, and continue to add to the deception, leading many people, even Christians into the world of Mysticism ….

Has anyone had experience with Mysticism?

What exactly is wrong with Mysticism?
