I’ve noticed some changes in Christians’ attitudes and motivations in evangelism over the years. A while ago, many Christians evangelized out of guilt. They felt so bad that they hadn’t told their friends about Jesus that they just had to “get it off their chests.” This was not ideal. Then, for a while, we proclaimed […]

An Invitation to Witness by Adam Miller
I love my mom. Because I love her, I know how she feels appreciated. She likes acts of service and every once in a while I try to surprise her by doing something nice. While I’m visiting them on vacation I might do a few chores around the house without being asked. I won’t even […]
The Fields Are White For Harvest, Even When You See Few Conversions by Dr. Donald Whitney
When you see few, if any, conversions in your place of ministry, it can be hard to believe that what Jesus said in John 4:35 is true. In that verse He said to His disciples, “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your […]
Here Am I, Send Me by Adam Miller
I remember when I first encountered the realization of who God is and what He had done for me. I was only a little kid, but having grown up in church my whole life and sitting through hundreds of stories about the love of God, I had assumed that God loved me and never questioned […]
The Apologist’s First Question by Ravi Zacharias
I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the Gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on the part of Christians to live it out. I remember well in the early days of my Christian faith talking to a close Hindu friend. He was questioning […]
Motivation to Witness: Living Out Our Faith by Adam Miller
With so much of New England and the Northeast under 3% evangelical, it can be disheartening to think that Christianity is on the decline and has lost its influential power. This has caused many Christians to lose heart and give up on sharing their faith. It has gotten to the point that whenever Christianity […]
Motivation to Witness: Loving God by Adam Miller
If you know anything about me, you are probably aware that every week I drive 20 minutes to a local deli for their Thursday lunch special, a prime rib sandwich. It’s one of my favorite simple pleasures. I’ve talked about it on the radio, I’ve posted pictures on social media, and I’ve treated my friends […]
Why Love Compels Us to Expose False Gospels by David Burnette
For many in our culture, religion and moral values have become like soft drinks. I prefer Coke, you prefer Mountain Dew, but in the end, neither of us is wrong. We’re talking about tastes, after all. Similarly, when it comes to religion, every person has his or her own personal preferences, but who’s to say […]
The Finished Work of Christ – Past, Future, and Present
As the things of earth go, two of my great interests are history and science fiction. In any given history class, no matter how long ago an event happened, there is a moment where the thing being talked about shows it’s connection to the present day. We see a figure that appears to be perfectly […]
Motivation to Witness: Knowing the Gospel by Adam Miller
Growing up as a pastor’s kid and having been saved at the age of six, I was pleasantly surprised when a Christian started to witness to me during my seminary years. I thought it would be fun to play along, so I let him try to convert me. He started off with a typical presentation. […]
A Faithful Witness by Adam Miller
You’ve seen this scenario before. A rookie athlete wins a championship game and is interviewed by a reporter about who he’d like to thank. What does he say, “I love you mom!” This isn’t unwarranted. A mother captures the heart and love of their child. Caught up in the elation of the moment, the boy […]
The Laws of Parenting by Dr. John DeBrine
<Originally published: June, 1995> In 1967, a young Billy Graham shared a moving account of a businessman who fell on his knees at his workplace and accepted the Lord as his Savior. In his classic sermon, “The Home,” Graham pointed out that what had reached that man’s heart was the sight of his tiny son […]
