Keeping Evangelistic Records
In a program of evangelism I welcome every method, or device, that proves to be a timesaver. The better one is organized, the more souls can be reached. Methods and devices are only means toward a greater and much more important end. But tools in the hands of the workman are most necessary.
Do Short Evangelistic Campaign Converts Stay?
This question seems to be one of the first to arise when considering the merits of a long or a short evangelistic campaign. It is a strange and Presumptuous matter to limit the power of the Holy Spirit; salvation is an experience that can be brought about in a moment of time, whereas the development of Christian character takes a longer time. But who can say whether it takes a month, a year, or a lifetime?
Identify Your Church
IN A WORLD of activity, change, and movement, particularly in the commercial world, much emphasis is put on advertising, and specifically on identifying a product or a place. This sort of thing is deemed most necessary by those who produce and distribute a commodity. It is also considered essential by those who desire a location or a facility to be identified. For example, as one drives across the country he finds that there is no mistaking a Holiday Inn for any other lodging place. . .
Two Mustard Seeds and How They Grew
THE Lord Jesus Christ used a mustard seed to illustrate the evangelistic potential of the gospel of the kingdom. This is the story of how two mustard seeds of evangelism were planted in the Southern Union Conference in 1937, and how they have become trees whose branches have spread into all the world in the outreach of Adventist evangelism. . .
