Jan has a fantastic post on words and meaning up on her blog, The View From Her. I’m reposting most of it here for discussion’s sake, but please jump over there to read the rest and let her know some of your thoughts.
The main gist of her post is looking at the [...]

Is Islam’s “#1 public enemy” a TV show host?
When American Christians today talk about evangelism to Muslims, much care is generally taken to tread carefully through the minefield of political and cultural baggage that comes along with any interaction between the two religions. But a colleague just sent me a link to an article about an Egyptian evangelist who is not only not [...]
Get Indignant
Mere Comments has a post about an easter preschool curriculum that purposefully fails to mention Jesus’ death and resurrection, which seems to me to kinda be the point of the holiday…
We didn’t know that the Gospel, like Ginsu knives and blood pressure medicine, ought to be kept out of the reach of small [...]

The World Knows
A quotation from John Wimber on jordancooper.com:
Years ago in New York City, I got into a taxi cab with an Iranian taxi driver, who could hardly speak English. I tried to explain to him where I wanted to go, and as he was pulling his car out of the parking place, he almost got hit [...]
Oh, That? That’s My Tuesday Bible
Mission Network News reports on the sickening amount of bibles we have laying around compared to other countries.
I’ve been using the same dark blue NIV for nigh on ten years. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve looked at those cool duotone NRSV’s with a small modicum of jealously. And then [...]
Waving the Bible
Achievable ends tells a story about something he witnessed a few days ago:
We piled onto one of the enumerable Park City Sundance buses and into the middle of what was apparently “bus evangelism”. A big guy with a huge Defined King James Version of the Bible in his hand, was seemingly in the middle of [...]
Thinking about evangelism
A few quick links on evangelism worth investigating:
Do you have an “evangelism plan” for 2008? We plan out our schedules, finances, fitness, and just about everything else, so why not evangelism as well? Seems like a good way to get yourself to think more deliberately about how you bear witness to Christ.

Are all sins equal in God’s eyes?
In presenting the Gospel, evangelicals often make the point that any sin, no matter how big or how small, is enough to separate us from God. Whether you told a little white lie or murdered somebody, the spiritual end-result is the same: you’re a sinner who needs God’s grace. Nothing too controversial so far, right?

Why so many Gospel presentations miss the mark
Several months ago I was tasked with writing some evangelistic material for Gospel.com. In the course of doing so I read a whole lot of “evangelism pitches” on Christian websites of every shape and size—I wanted to see how my fellow evangelicals were stating the case for Christ.
The truth was, I found an awful lot [...]
