Tell Your Friends: Soul Cravings Chats
"Is it possible that God has been at work in your life all along?" - Erwin McManus
When Erwin McManus was speaking at the Power to Change staff conference, he suggested that this question would be a way to help a person begin to question their current view of God and life. It's a question that any honest person, even... >Read More

Islam & Your Church
What does your church's response to its Muslim neighbors say to your community? No doubt you've heard about the so-called "ground zero mosque" (also referred to as a Muslim community center) which is planned to be built near the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York City.
Regardless of what your opinion is about the construction of this building...... >Read More

Evangelism without Unnecessary Offense
There is a certain amount of offense that's inherent in evangelism. Greg Koukl puts it this way: "When dealing with non-Christians our responsibility is two-fold. The Gospel alone is offensive enough. We should not add more offense to it, as was done here. Neither should we take any of the inherent offense from it" (STR.org)
Our goal... >Read More

Medicine & Evangelism
How can a person involved in the medical profession share their faith without being labeled intolerant?
For several years, my church has run the Alpha program as an evangelistic outreach. The easy part is running the program; the tough part is to get members of the congregation to invite their friends!

Easter is quickly approaching! But do your friends and neighbors know what Easter is really about?

Involving your Friends in Christmas
Christmas is one of the few times when it's okay to talk about Jesus in secular, politically correct society. At least, it's seen as being less offensive than the rest of the year. But how can Christians involve non-Christians in their Christmas celebrations without being dismissed as "preachy" but still being faithful to the truth and the imperative...... >Read More

Tell Me Your Story
Have you ever wished you had a more exciting testimony? I remember sitting in Sunday School years ago hearing a dramatic story of life and loss and salvation and thinking, “Wow, I don’t have a story like that. I guess I don’t have a testimony.” I could not have been more wrong.
