EP 59: Evangelism (Spiritual Disciplines Series)

from Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast · host Marci Ferrell: Christian Homemaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother

What is evangelism? The dictionary definition defines it as the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching or personal witness. So evangelism is the announcement, proclamation, and preaching of the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), which is the good news of and about Jesus Christ. It is a verbal message. As Christians, we are all called to be God’s mouthpieces. Along with being salt and light to a lost world, we are called to open our mouths and share the good news—the best news we could ever share. Donald Whitney defines evangelism: "It is clearly presenting Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to sinful people with the hope that they may see their sinfulness against a holy God and repent and put their faith and trust in Christ alone for salvation." You can find all podcasts on the Spiritual Disciplines in this series here. The two books I'm utilizing the most for the series are Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life and Habits of Grace.
