“Evangelism includes your friends, roommates, classmates, coworkers, neighbors, and family members. Some of them follow Jesus. Some don’t. The posture toward all of them is fundamentally the same: faithful presence, communication, clarity, love, and courage.” — Tripp Almon

Evangelism is not something you do only if you feel specially called. If you are a Christian, you are already sent. But here’s why that shouldn’t scare you ➡️ shr.link/onyd6

“Nobody goes to Hell because they never heard of Jesus. Even though believing in Jesus is the antidote to the problem, the problem isn’t a lack of belief in Jesus. We are judged according to our deeds. Our spiritual disease is sin.” — Greg Koukl

Greg answers questions about apologetics resources for young children, the fate of people who never heard the gospel, catering to those who have been historically marginalized, reconciling Romans 3 with the idea that those who seek God find him, and whether the atonement is illogical. Listen now at shr.link/fy3ki.

When Jesus gives what we call the Great Commission, he isn’t handing his followers a marketing strategy or a church growth program. He is describing a way of life. The command to “make disciples” is not a call to manufacture converts and move on. It’s an invitation to form people who learn not just information about Jesus but how to live in relationship with him. The gospel is not merely the message someone needs to hear in order to become a Christian; it is the message Christians continue to need as they grow. You don’t graduate from the gospel. You go deeper into it. The same Christian story of reality that introduces someone to Jesus is the story that continues to shape them into his likeness. That means evangelism and discipleship are not two different missions. They are one unified way of life, applied to people at different points along the same path. Non-Christians need the gospel to meet Jesus. Christians need the gospel to become more like him. — Tripp Almon

Is religion only good for a bit of guidance and positivity? Or does Jesus’ impact go beyond this to something far more significant? Look for more Noyes on the Streets videos on YouTube, and don’t forget to subscribe.

“You can’t know if God has failed unless you know what his goal is.” — Amy Hall

“We can’t assess the success of the message by looking at numbers at any slice of history, because the real picture is the total picture at the end of history.” — Greg Koukl

#STRask Greg and Amy answer questions about whether God’s primary object is to not be found, how one can say God doesn’t make mistakes if the percentage of Christians in the world is so low, and whether the fact that not everyone will be in Heaven is proof that God doesn’t win every battle.
