As I consider the various lessons that I have comprehended in this course further advances my calling to be an observer for the Lord. I acknowledge that an unadulterated life focused in a steady love of the Lord and a reliable sharing of my constant faith is important to satisfy the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. I have understood that my reverential life, the act of sharing my faith and administering to the lost has melted away and is conflicting.
This course has opened my eyes to faults that I did not know that I was making when it involved evangelism. This has delivered a conviction that has incited my soul and desire to do and be a better witness for my God. When I was …show more content…

Not everybody is open to strolling into a congregation building, however accepting a free administration without any strings joined is harder to stand up to.
Truth be told, it more often than not provokes interest concerning why somebody would leave his or her approach to play out this demonstration of generosity. Servant evangelism can possibly mollify individuals' hearts, empowering them to hear and get the good news of Jesus Christ. It is quite a decent approach to "water" seed already sown (see 1 Corinthians 3:6).
Servant evangelism comes with advantages for those serving, too. Christians today are commissioned to "be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15). This is why it is highly important to study upon the Word of God so that we will have an appropriate response for any question

  • My Philosophy on Evangelism

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    General logic should convince us of the importance of evangelism. Our world constantly changes through our beliefs. For instance, we gave the Constitution its birth—its laws and the powers to enforce it. Certain concepts such as “murder,” “slavery,” and “rape” we have simply defined as evil. We constantly share or enforce our ideas on others. Despite certain opinions, putting our ideals and beliefs into practice will happen. And evangelism is such a task. It is the goal of trying to have people come to faith in Christ. While the entire world is sharing its thoughts, we too must share our beliefs of our faith. It causes God’s presence to be near. It helps bring greater justice to the world. It can benefit countless lives. Thus, it logically makes sense that we should share God’s Word.

    Because this is a service based approach, the nonbeliever could receive a false impression that works are required for salvation. This is especially possible if the person serving seems disinterested, doesn’t want to talk with the nonbeliever, or pushy, tries to deliver the good news in a condemning fashion immediately. In addition, the servant could not be fulling engaged with the evangelism. It is serving the community, however it is serving them with a purpose. Merely handing out water on a hot day doesn’t make the event one of

  • Worldview Reflection as a Christian Theist

    1512 Words  | 4 Pages

    I began this course thinking my worldview was that of a Christian Theist, as I had come to discover, as the course progressed, my worldview was a mixed bag of beliefs outside the elementary belief of Christian Theism. I was not disheartened by this finding, but surprised. The realization then set in that I was uneducated or did not know God like I thought. In fact my beliefs appeared to be more influenced by society than the deity of God. Fortunately, this is a learning experience intended to bring me closer to the truths of Christianity and an understanding of the beliefs of others.

    This semester has proved to be a real awakening to what direction I need to be pursuing in my spiritual walk. I have learned so much through this course. Some of the things that I have learned that have become more important than they were in the past are; the need for silence, the need for community, the need for direction, and above all how utterly helpless we are when we try to “do” everything, including ministry without seeking God first.

  • The Pastor's Role in Evangelism

    752 Words  | 2 Pages

    Often the job description of a pastor can be inconspicuous and differ from church to church. Is evangelism, or sharing the good news of what Jesus Christ did for the world, solely the duty of the pastor? Or does this duty lie in the job description of his congregants? Or could the job of evangelism be both for the pastor and his members? Like many aspects of the church, there are varying views on this topic.

  • Importance Of Dialogue In Counselling

    2029 Words  | 5 Pages

    This course opened my eyes to the importance of dialogue in ways that I had not previously considered. I did not know in counseling you should only talk 30 percent of the time and that the remaining 70 percent should be the counselee’s time to talk. My typical counseling sessions in the past were about 50/50 dialogue. I thought that the counselee needed my opinion. A majority of my sessions included this amount of dialogue, which I am now understanding was not helpful to those people. Even though several people did have great results due to our sessions, they will looked to me in the future for more answers to various problems. This made the counseling relationship more dependent on my advice rather than them talking out their problem

  • The Importance Of Social Ministry

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the first time in my life I don 't just feel like a disciple of Christ, but how it would feel to be an apostle. Social ministry is what got me saved having my best friend talk to me about Jesus on the car rides home from school which prompted my education at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Social ministry doesn 't just have to be a grand gesture as we have to recognize our own ministries since the Holy Trinity lives in us. I feel like a candle that burns itself out as a willing servant to shine light for everyone who wants to see. It 's not that I 'm not living life, but I was given life and I want to give life to others. Most people I know have a certain kind of people they minister best to and for me it 's not getting people to become Christians, but strengthening the Christian walks of broken down believers. In my own Christian walk I went from being a religious hypocrite to becoming a true disciple but I can get broken down and it means the world when a fellow brother or sister in Christ raises me up again like Jesus would. I feel an even more specific calling to homeless people. I see them all over the country and I always think that could be me. I wonder why I am so blessed to have a home and a family, and what God wants them to learn from being barren of everything. I feel that ministry can be so helpful. Leading homeless people to better lives and reacquainting themselves with Christ in process. People get frustrated when their lives get thrown into the trenches however, a lot of times “that’s where God’s power comes in. God releases an explosion of His power to give you a miracle if you need one, if you believe He’s a miracle worker (Hayes 115).” People think just because things aren 't going according to their own plans that God must not be there and I feel called to confront that. Just because we don 't always see the sun shining behind the clouds doesn 't mean that it is not there
