As a longtime Baptist I miss the old state evangelism conferences. I lived in Texas when I became a Christian and felt called to preach and the high light of my year was the State Evangelism Conference. It was a great motivation to get out and knock on doors and tell people about Jesus. The preaching was great. Time went by and the preaching seemed to more second to special conferences which were not well attended. There are some state conventions with annual evangelism conference in our present time, but none in my state. Professions of Faith and Baptisms are fewer now than in the 1950's. Fewer churches have revival meetings. Both the old evangelism conferences and the local church revival meeting were great motivators for getting out and doing evangelism. NAMB used to promote and help support the state evangelism conferences but their plan has changed. A: I have never in my 36 years as a believer ever heard of Evangelism Conferences in SBC denomination. Had no idea they eve...

This is how we can lovingly lead people with knowledge and reason towards truth and point them to the gospel & resources.  I added the intro to the answer after I had written the reply. I conside...

Q: I need advice. All my friends including my boyfriend are not Christian. I really want to talk to them about Jesus Christ but am having this fear in mind that they might not listen to me. Where should I start?  A: Regardless of your relationship status, this can help you reach someone for Christ.  Scripture tells us a few things on this topic. Here are a couple: *God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind.  *The Holy Spirit will help us with what we say. * God's Word never returns void.  *we are to speak to people about the Gospel but do so as one informed, who rightly speaks the truth, and who does so in patience, gentleness and in love.  Are you a new believer? Have you been baptized as a believer yet?  I would start by writing up your testimony. It is best if the gospel is included. Then you have a couple options.  1. Invite them to your baptism where you share your testimony (in water baptismal, before the bap...
