The Man Piper and WOTM

Hi all,

I just thought I'd put up some resources as well, as in stuff I use personally.

1. John Piper Sermons















John Piper is the man! He is the bomb! Writer of Desiring God, one of the most influential and eye opening books I've read (excluding the Bible of course). He helped me understand a lot about God through that book and I have become a fan of his teachings ever since. You can get all his sermons on his website http://desiringgod.org for free! Also, you should buy his books but that will cost you some money.

Here's a link to the section on evangelism: CLICK ME

2. Ray Comfort's 'Way Of The Master' Method


















Ray Comfort's WOTM (Way Of The Master) is seemingly popular in America. I have seen people doing street preaching in Frankston who use this method and although I doubted the street preacher's theology at the start, but I decided to be obedient and 'test everything but hold on to what is good' (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and after buying and reading the book, I am convinced that Ray Comfort's theology is sound. Reading the many testimonies from his book and site, there are numerous pastors and Christians who opposed his methods first but after searching the Scriptures have agreed with him.

His method is highly controversial and confrontational in direct opposition to the modern evangelism methods we are accustomed to (Four Spiritual Laws, Evangelism Explosion). He even goes to say that these methods are counter productive. For that he has predictably been branded an arrogant snob. I don't think he is though but neither will I label other evangelism methods as the work of evil.

I can't exactly explain everything in one post. You have to check it out yourself.

Till next time, run the race, keep the faith.
