Ephesians 2:1-10 is a great way to share the Gospel if you have time to sit down and walk through it. Ephesians 2:1-3 talk about who we are, our sinfulness, and what we will face (children of wrath) if we continue on a sinful path, in rebellion to God. These verses show us our need for a savior, a need for Jesus. Thankfully, the story doesn't end there. the next verse starts with "But God," meaning that while we are all of those things, God is the opposite. Verses 4-9 go on the speak of who God is, what He has done for us, how we are saved, and the reality that we can't earn salvation. Verse 10 then ends with tells us that we are made for good works. Meaning we aren't saved to continue living our lives in sinfulness, but we are saved for a purpose, to gloify God and tell others about Him.   Sharing the Gospel is scary and hard, but it is a command that we have been given. God has a heart for all people, for the nations, and that is shown throughout Scripture, both Old Testament and New Testament. While it is difficult to do, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do this, so trust in Him to work in and through you. Want to find us on other platforms? Links below! ALSO…. THE MERCH IS HERE!

Sharing the Gospel can be a hard thing to do, especially if you have never done it before. Many people are worried about not having every answer, not speaking eloquently, or simply being rejected without having the opportunity to even start. All of these are fears are valid, but these worries should not stop us from being obedient to our calling. We have been given a spirit of power, not fear. We are ambassadors, and we should carry ourselves as such.  Even though we know these things to be true, the question now becomes “how.” “How do I start a Gospel Conversation?” Well, sometimes it is as simple as answering a common question back to your relationship with Christ. If a coworker was to ask why you never took shortcuts at work and you said, “because God has given work as a gift, and I want to honor Him in the gift He has given me,” then an everyday conversation could have just turned in to a Gospel conversation, and all you had to do was give an intentional answer.  Many Gospel conversations aren’t even opened by you, but if you have an open heart and open ears, others my give you the opportunity to share the Gospel. This all starts with our heart, do we have a heart for people to know Christ? If not, we need to change that. If we do, then we ought to be praying that God would provide opportunities to share the Gospel. Then, mindset, what are we focused on in conversation, do we look to make much of us or much of Christ, or are we just engaged in conversation to get through it? Lastly, willingness, are we willing to put ourselves out there when the opportunity is presented?  Want to find us on other platforms? Links below! ALSO…. THE MERCH IS HERE!

One of the most common accusations against the Bible is that it had been changed over time, making it unreliable. How do we know if what we have today is what the original Bible actually said? How can we be confident that we are reading the accurate Word of God? What if the story of Jesus has just been hyperbolized over the hundreds and thousands of years? Well, there is an answer to each of these questions. Scholars engage in textual criticism, which allows these questions and more to be answered. To do this, scholars and textual critics review thousands and tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts, compare these manuscripts to one another, validate the validity of the manuscripts, and come to a conclusion on whether or not the text is accurate. One important distinction to note is the difference in a manuscript and a copy. A manuscript is handwritten. If you were to copy, paste, and print the Bible that would not be considered a manuscript, and therefore would not be eligible for review in textual criticism. Each of these manuscripts was written by hand, and there are tons of them. Some Bible critics, such as Dr. Bart Ehrman, intentionally mislead people when talking about the accuracy and validity of the Bible. These critics will use phrases like “there are over 400,000 variations of the Bible,” which is a true statement, but not in the way that we understand it. The same is true for the word “corrupt” in textual criticism; this word has a slightly different meaning, but that difference completely changes the way we understand this argument. Spoiler alert, the Bible is shown to be accurate through textual criticism, and has more support than some of the other most famous writings in modern history. Want to find us on other platforms?
