If you are not offending people, then you are not an evangelist.

As long as quick numerical growth remains the primary indicator of church health, the truth will be compromised. Instead, churches must once again begin measuring success not in terms of numbers but in terms of fidelity to the Scriptures.

A church is not a Fortune 500 company. It's not simply another nonprofit organization, nor is it a social club. In fact, a healthy church is unlike any organization that man has ever devised, because man didn't devise it.

The important thing when you are tied down is to continue to model Christ's love. This will ensure that your words, perhaps spoken long ago, will have fresh relevance, or it will help little ones to understand what it means to live the Christian life in days to come. A life well-lived in these circumstances can be hugely useful in evangelism.

People forget that there is a big difference between coercion and persuasion. The idea that evangelism is coercive is nonsense.

God can use even stray, honest comments to bring people to himself.

What really concerns me is for Christians to understand the fundamentals of evangelism in a way that is helpful in the contemporary scene.
