The Evangelicals

I have been involved recently with a number of people who are, in one form or another, involved in ministry. Numerous discussions about the church, Christians, Christ, non-Christians, evangelism and sundry related issues. Recurrent in these conversations is the concept of evangelism.

The Economy of the Web

Articles like this embarrass me

Articles like this embarrass me as a Christian as they do Dan Kimball. From what I gather having read two of Paul Proctor’s articles I have to conclude that Paul’s view is this.
