That’s a different kind of cat.

I don’t dislike you. For many months it was pretty much you and I who gave this area of the forum a heartbeat. I reached out to you when few, if any, would. *** I was just reviewing some of our many conversations. If you take the time to do that you will find that a legitimate question you...

“4. Obey every prompting of the Holy Spirit. It required some grace for Philip to leave a great revival at Samaria and journey down the desert road to Gaza on an unknown errand. If he had been like some Christians, he would have argued with the Lord about the matter until he had missed his...

“3. Watch for souls that must give account. When an insurance agent is introduced to a man, his first thought is, ‘How old is that man, and how much life insurance does he carry?’ and he isn’t long in finding out, either. A friend of mine was accosted by the words, ‘Shine your shoes, boss?’...

2. Choose an opportune time and place. It is not well to stop one who is running for a train to inquire about his soul, neither is it the highest wisdom to give a hungry man a tract. Far better give him a cup of coffee, and make it so hot that he cannot drink it. Then, while, he is sipping the...

I’m currently reading a book about making disciples and the author (post # 3) is taking the long way around the barn. I’m about half way through the book. He’s got a long way to go and a short time to get there. He might close strong (I hope he does) but it caused me to think it would be a good...

Go and make disciples, I’ve shown you how to do it. Performing miracles is on the table, though that’s not what I think Jesus had in mind.

* How much later are we talking here? *

* Simon Sebag Montefiore *

This is a test. What do you see?

My creed is the creed of Jewish monotheism. Given that, wouldn’t you say that “Other Faith” is an appropriate registration for me and limiting my activity to the few forums open to members registered as “Other Faith” is a blessing for all? (I do.)

Personally, I’m in favor of keeping Trinity discussions confined to the “Christians Only” forums. Let them battle it out amongst themselves.

My conclusion: Jesus didn’t show his disciples that performing miracles is the way for his disciples to fish for people.

If we are to make disciples the way Jesus showed us how to make disciples, wouldn’t all of his disciples be performing miracles?

“1. Study the art of diverting conversation to spiritual topics. Go through the Gospel of John, and study carefully the Saviour’s methods of approaching men. Indeed, the Gospel of John might well be called the personal worker’s Gospel, so full is it of incidents that illustrate this important...
