And then I became throughly indoctrinated in this evangelism method.Īfter starting in this unique ministry to our nation’s leaders, I flew down to Ft. I found out when I joined a ministry in our nation’s government that was founded by the same person who started EE, Dr. Growing up I had heard these questions, but I didn’t know where they came from. These two questions are the opening lines to one of the most well-known and well-used gospel sharing techniques in the evangelical world: Evangelism Explosion. No wonder Christians aren’t invited to more parties! Now there’s an interesting way to start a conversation. “If you were to die today are you certain you would go to heaven, or is that something you’re still figuring out? Say you did die and stand before God, and He were to say to you, ‘Why should I let you into my heaven?’ what would you say?” It helps you better understand each of the four acts of God’s Story so you can share that magical, revolutionary gospel with your friends and neighbors and family. Before we can tell the gospel Story we need to know the Story. Instead, it’s about knowing and understanding the Story we are called to share. It explains more of my passion for understand and telling God’s Story of Rescue, and my passion for equipping and encouraging Christians to know that Story so they can share that Story.Īs I wrote yesterday, this book isn’t another gospel sharing method or a step-by-step guide to sharing the gospel. Today I thought I would post the 1800 word preface I wrote to introduce the book. I’m pleased to offer that short guide for NOOK and Kindle, and at only $2.99.

Which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. John had a sight of the “new Jerusalem coming down from heaven” (Re 21:10). Though sometimes vision is accompanied with external representations as when Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord “sitting in his temple” (Isa 6:1), and Ezekiel had the description and dimensions of the temple revealed to him in a vision (Eze 40:2), and St. It is called vision, not from any use made of corporeal sight, or that it is entertained with external objects but because of the clearness and evidence of the things revealed, and the conformity this kind of inspiration bears to the information which the mind receives by corporeal sense. Thus Balaam describes it as to himself, “Who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open” (Nu 24:16). In vision the inspired person was awake, but his external senses were bound up, and as it were laid asleep in a trance.
