REACHING OUT


    In the Book of Acts, all the Gospel preaching is done outside the churches, in marketplaces and where sinners were found.  Inside the church meetings, they were taught, and everyone was able to share something from the Lord. This concept was lost over the centuries.  "Reaching the lost" was reduced to "Come to church" where the Gospel was preached to a largely saved congregation, who remained largely untaught.  

    When churches are challenged to reach out, very few respond effectively.  That's why we now have so many "para-church ministries", and I'm certainly not against them.  After all, they're doing what we've all be told to do.  

    I once overheard two people reminiscing about Sunday School.  I asked what they were taught.  "We memorized the names of the Books of the Bible", they said.  

    "That's it?" I said, hoping to hear more.    

    They looked at each other, shrugged and nodded.

    Now THAT is tragic.  No wonder so few Christians have answers for unbelievers.  

    That's one of the reasons I wrote this:


The title is ROCK-SOLID REALITY, PART 1: ALWAYS BE READY. Give the unbelievers around you a new respect for the Lord Jesus Christ when they find out you have slid reasons for believing the Bible.  Besides the God-Breathed Book, the contents include the Fall of Humanity or why there’s evil in the world, God’s Triunity, showing it’s not only Biblical but scientifically valid, And the following chapters about Jesus Christ: His identity, birth, character, death, resurrection and return.  Finally, the New Birth of the Believer.  You probably think you know all this already. I'd like to challenge you to check out this resource. I've had many seasoned believers express their appreciation to me for making this material available.   

            I’ve been teaching this material for years as a topical series, a curriculum, and a seminar and I’ve been surprised at how many believers actually get excited about the material.  Now it’s available in book form, so I hope many believers will take advantage of it and benefit.  It’s available only from amazon.com, as a paperback or an ebook. Please check with amazon.com for the prices in your nation.

WHY THE NEW "DUNE" REMAKE IS DANGEROUS

  I read, and loved, the Frank Herbert Novel DUNE about 40 years ago.  I also watched the two different movies (the second a miniseries) with mixed feelings.  But when I watched this latest version, alarm bells went off.        The main character's title in the book and the earlier versions was "Maud 'Dib".  I forget what it meant.  But while watching this latest version, I couldn't help but notice that it was changed to "Mahdi".        "Mahdi" has a meaning outside the "Dune" franchise.  It's the tile of the Muslim Messiah; the one who will exterminate those who refuse to convert to Islam.         Muslims have a right to promote their faith in this country, however much I oppose it.  But when an established story is CHANGED to accommodate them, it's time to take notice.   As for Islam itself, my usual response to their challenges is this:  Islam came along over 6...

"Scientific Proof"

 " Scientific Proof" is that which is repeatable, demonstrable and observable. Period. In other words, the complete absence of transitional forms, and the millions of years required to make evolution at all believable, are outside the realm of science.  And yet, they have insisted on calling it science (and even saying "science" when they mean "evolution").  Their position was logically untenable, no matter how loudly and authoritatively they insisted on it.   When evolutionists finally realized that, they invented something called "historical science" as opposed to "operational science". Now they have a form of "science" that doesn't have to submit to experimentation and observation. Convenient, hmm?     Consider this quote from Ken Ham's excellent book SIX DAYS: "Men on the moon, airplanes, and the Internet all fall under the category of operational science -- none of this has anything to do with historical...

Intro to my autbiography OUTSIDER

      Based on the reception of my other books, OUTSIDER will never be a bestseller.  In fact, I doubt it'll ever be finished.  That's probably why I feel constrained to put what I've written as an introduction (so far) here on the blog.        I will never know what it's like to be anybody but me.      I will never know what it's like to be part of an identified minority: ethnic, religious, national or linguistic.      But I know what it's like to be on the outside. I know what it's like to be automatically excluded because of who and what I am.      So, when people say to me, “You don't understand,” because I'm not a member of that group, I find it ironic.      They're right; I don't understand.      But there are things I do understand.      I understand what it's like to be told, “This doesn't concern you,” and then ...
