Responding to Bad Billboards
Are billboards an effective way of advertising? Maybe they work for Toyota to market their new SUV, or Warner Bros to market their blockbuster summer film. But are they effective for a church? What about an anti-church?
In an article titled "Atheist billboard provokes Oklahoman Christians" the Associated Press explains how a billboard paid for...... >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.

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)

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.
