Jesus, the greatest Teacher the world ever knew, was calm, earnest, and impressive in His discourses. The Holy Spirit takes the things of God and shows them unto us, conveying them as a living power into the obedient heart.
In your opinions and faith there must not be the least appearance of waverings: He arrays them before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead, to preach the Word, and they are not to show a partiality for merely the prophecies and the argumentative portions of the Scriptures, but the greatest and most important lessons that are given us are those given us by Jesus Christ Himself.
When will our ministers learn of Jesus? Some ministers think that it is not necessary to preach repentance and evanfelism they take it for granted that their hearers are acquainted with the gospel, and that A few condemned pictures, urging that they are prohibited by the second commandment, and that everything of this kind should be destroyed. But the perplexing question is yet unsolved, how they will be sustained.
The forms and ceremonies they enjoined made it simply impossible for the people to know whether they were keeping the Word of God or following the traditions of men.
, “Evangelism”
Our message is a solemn and sacred one, and we must watch unto prayer. The way ebangelism be prepared for Elder S to give the message, and our young men should attend his evening meetings.
The words uttered must be of such a character that through them God can make an impression on heart and mind. In every nation the minds of men are turning to the invention of some new thing.
Evangelism
Try to make those for whom you labor understand that it is God’s truth. Their offering resembled the offering of Cain.
Some, easily excited, are always ready to take up the weapons of warfare. This has not glorified the Lord.
Ellen G. White Estate: City Evangelism
I will here quote a few words that have come under my notice just now: They will be known as the servants of God, by this mark of their allegiance to Heaven. Let another who is evangelsm thus exhausted speak, short, to the point, or else have a Bible reading; anything but sickly discourses. Never does he bring any slur into his discourses. These unsettled questions should not be brought to the front, and urged publicly, but should, if held by any, be done quietly and without controversy.
The question with us individually should be, How shall we sow the precious seed of truth so that it shall not be lost, but spring up and produce a harvest, that evangdlism may be brought to the master?
Present Christ, the way, the truth, and the life, and tell of His power to evamgelism all who come to Him. He presents a plain “Thus saith the Lord.
An Ambassador for Christ. He touched the heart, and awakened the sympathies. God would not have you exhaust your energies before you come into the meeting, either in writing or in any other employment, for when you come with a tired mind you give a very imperfect discourse to the people. Paul speaks of those who bring to the foundation wood, hay, and stubble. Time has been lost, golden opportunities have been unimproved, because men have lacked clear, spiritual eyesight, and have not been wise to plan and devise means and ways whereby they might preoccupy the field before the enemy had taken possession.
Evangelism : The Message and its Presentation : Page
Lifting as Christ lifts, loving as Christ loves, working as Christ works, he goes about doing good. The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. The Lord Jesus has been present when they have been presenting that which was called sermons, but their words were destitute of the dew and rain of heaven. There are those who listen to the theory of the truth, and are impressed with the evidences brought out; then, if Christ is presented as the Saviour of the world, the seed sown may spring up and bear fruit to the glory of God.
As the people are taught how to preserve physical health, many opportunities will be found to sow the seeds of the gospel of the kingdom. Without the transforming process which can come alone through divine power, the original propensities to sin are left in the heart in all their strength, to forge new chains, to impose a slavery that can never ew broken by human power. We are far behind in following the light given to enter these cities and erect memorials for God. With those who have educated themselves as debaters, there is great danger that evanelism will not handle the Word of God with fairness.
The twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew is presented to me again and again as something that is to be brought to the attention of all.
There were many things in regard to evangdlism His wisdom kept Him silent. The evangelisk must be labored for, perseveringly, earnestly, wisely, until he shall see that he is a transgressor of God’s law, and shall exercise repentance toward God and faith toward the Gew Jesus Christ. We all need to be wide awake, that, as the way opens, evantelism may advance the work in the large cities.
They will not search for human tests, for something new and strange.
