For several years, my friend, Jon Neifert, has been leading the charge in sharing the gospel to this Reformed Christian town with his organization called: Tulip Gospel Outreach. An evangelism conference that not only teaches you how to share the gospel in... Continue Reading →
I recently received this question from Africa to answer for Got Questions. I thought it would be important to share it here as well. There is definitely an overlap between the two for sure, and in many aspects are indistinguishable from each other; But they have differences. Preaching would involve exhortation, admonition, encouragement, and comfort.... Continue Reading →

I couldn't help but laugh as the first thing I thought of was "WKRP In Cincinati" Thanksgiving Special, "Turkey's Away," where Weatherman Les Nessman reports... Continue Reading →
