couple things for you to think about: 1) signs were for jews. there are several verses specifically about that. 2) imagine you are kickstarting a new religion. you are going to need some extra firepower otherwise why should anyone believe your message? (especially a certain group of people...

Ralph "yankee" Arnold on youtube.

Go for it. Another easy way to spread the gospel is with tracts as someone already mentioned. You can leave them in many public places.

I've attended a few baptist churches over the years. The only time I've seen laying on of hands by church staff is when deacons were "initiating" a new deacon. By initiating I simply mean that the deacons would gather around the man and pray for him while each of their hands were on his...

Someone mentioned the out of print The Gospel Millennium by Robert Whitelaw, I found a website that contains a free audio version: Gospel Millennium Haven't read/listened to it yet but just wanted to provide a link I found.

Kindness goes a long way with me. Now on a semi-related topic: I recently found a preacher on youtube that I like. One reason I like him is because he is able to quote so many verses on demand throughout his sermon without notes/Bible. I admire that and he has inspired me to memorize more of...

Here's another one for you to chew on OP: God told us not to be jealous and yet it is ok for Him to be jealous. Also read Rom 9:20-21

The deeper your faith, the more spiritually mature you get, you are going to see your own failings more and more. That's natural. It's similar to the pattern with gaining knowledge in general. The more you know about a subject, the more you realize how little you know.. As for how other...

Call him grandson going forward and pray he doesn't ask you to call him granddaughter.

repent is also an interesting word study in the OT. For example: Exo 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Paul's recommendations on this matter are in 2 cor 9. specifically verse 7 as a highlight.
