evangelism

It seems that there is a lot of interest in Christian education about teaching kids and adults how to debate for their faith. I probably agreed with this one day in my past, but I've come to the conclusion that this is a very, very, very bad idea.

I'll pretend that someone is interested in knowing why I think it's a bad idea, and I'll tell you. I am probably more prepared to debate scientific, intellectual and philosophical reasons for believing in Christianity than 95% of Christians in America.... and I've had my head handed to me time after time.

Are we even trying to reach the reachable, or are we spinning our wheels and wasting Kingdom resources by trying to win the people we feel comfortable with? Our ineffectiveness in our culture, and the directions we're going trying to reach people certainly begs the question.

We'd love to get some feedback on this short podcast.

Theology Rocks - truths to stand on

Our neighbors need to hear the Good News about what Jesus has done for us, just as every generation before them did. Unfortunately, it seems that we're not doing a very good job of telling them about the Good News. Part of the problem is that we're still acting like we live in a predominantly Christian culture. In reality, that culture is gone. Most of the problem is that we just don't bother telling them the Good News at all.
