    I am a horrible sinner. Please help.

    I have read a lot of good advice here, but I'd like to say this on the subject. The problem of lust does not require the internet, dirty magazines or videos. Just the thoughts in my head are pornographic enough. That said, my go-to verse for overcoming this is Job 31:1 I made a covenant with my...

    Getting your feet wet

    When I first got saved I was fortunate to get connected with a church that encouraged us in evangelism. My first try was doing prison ministry. I would interview new inmates at a youthful offender facility, and the form I filled out with them was designed to start with their family's spiritual...

    Do people care about child evangelism?

    Since you are doing right, you have no need to be defensive. I've worked in children's ministry of about 30 years, as a layman and on staff, and I can tell you that many parents, if not most in my experience, viewed us as glorified babysitters. They thought we were leading their kids to Christ...

    The Great Awakening

    Last year I read a great book about the First Great Awakening, by Joseph Tracy. He wrote it in 1841, and it is very interesting, to say the least. Revival began among nominal Christians after a teenage girl with a terrible reputation came to Christ. Her changed life was such an example to the...

    Do people care about child evangelism?

    I could not agree more. That's what I love about our Good News Clubs. We see the kids every week, and they get actual pastoral care from our grade shepherds. There is always follow-up and follow-through that must be done, and some of our church partners drop the ball and fail to follow-up with...

    Do people care about child evangelism?

    I have been volunteering and working on staff with Child Evangelism Fellowship for almost 5 years. I got involved because it seemed like a no-brainer. Why not get children saved as early as possible and rea ch their families through them? I started volunteering in Good News Club in a public...

    Returning after a very long time

    I joined this forum a long time ago, but I didn't think I had time for it. Since then, I have become a missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship. I started a new chapter with my wife in Citrus County, Florida, and it went very well. I have returned to Gainesville after being there for 3 years...

    Reach children NOW.

    My wife and I have gotten involved with Child Evangelism Fellowship in the past couple of years, and we are so excited about what God is doing! We had been in children's ministry for years, and we seldom if ever saw a child come to Christ. In the past two years, we have seen a deluge in...

    why did the early church grow so fast?

    Here in America we have socialized righteousness. "Doing good" means to vote for candidates who promise the biggest government programs. If you are against them, you are ostracized as "greedy" and mean. Another part of our secular utopia is equality of all behaviors. That means there is no such...

    Why Denominations - GOSPEL GOOD NEWS - PREACH THE KINDDOM OF GOD

    2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. and that's why I baled out of this thread early. reminds me of a lot of long-winded "discussions" on USENET years ago...

    fiscal conservative party: would you?

    I have been involved in local politics since the 2000 election, when I realized I was just another guy with an opinion who was not really using his rights as a citizen. Since then I have served on my party's exec committee, worked on some campaigns, and have been a candidate for office 3 times...

    Why do people sometimes use 'fundamentalist' in a negative connotation?

    True Christians are wrong about a lot of things. Paul told the Corinthians, "There are not many wise or noble among you." It would be good to keep this in mind. :)

    Christianity in Our World Today

    Well said. My wife and I are now in our 50s and we are rediscovering our first love as we minister to kids in our public schools. We volunteer with Child Evangelism Fellowship, putting on a Good News Club in an elementary school that is teeming with at-risk kids. We sold our house and most of...

    Death Penalty

    football5680 nails it. I remember having these arguments years ago. One lady asked me, "Don, can you see Jesus pulling the switch and executing someone?" My answer: "Are we talking about that same Jesus who will be saying, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for...

    Child Evangelism Fellowship

    Thank you. God is doing great things here! I tried finding your web site. Kidministers.org works, but kidministers.com does not seem to exist. At any rate, we have about 26-32 kids who come to our Good News Club, and we all have a great time. However, we are having a difficult time translating...
