STARTING A CONVERSATION

The hardest thing for most believers who want to share Christ is the courage to approach people and how to start a conversation.. Hearing the gospel is the key to ever accepting Christ. Romans 10:13-15 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” NIV There are many approaches that people who are so passionate about evangelism adapt. Some of these approaches work and others don't. When an approach does not produce an understanding of the gospel and a willing conviction, it has failed.

And with them, He will change the world. His focus was not on the tens and hundreds of thousands that constantly attended his meetings but th

THE NEW LIFE

In ancient times there was a prophecy, God was fed up with the undulating walk of the Israelites. Today they are up tomorrow they are down. That walk has been particularly burdensome, for Israel but more for God. Working with an unreliable, unpredictable non-steadfast unregenerate people are the worst. No project ever gets done. It's equally burdensome to the unregenerate because he lacks the capability to do what God wants even though he may know. This was the biggest problem of the First Testament. Why is man unregerate in the first place. Death. There are three main kinds of death in the Bible. 1. Physical death is the most know. Every man dies. ★Ecclesiastes 3:2  "a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot." The bible, history and tradition establish the fact about physical death. Besides, everyone knows somebody who once lived but no longer does. 2. Spiritual Death is less known. This is separation from God. This
