spiritual growth

Most people want to bring people to the Lord, but fear and intimidation keep them from knowing where to even start. We are each called to be salt and light in the world—even if it’s a bit uncomfortable at times! Here are seven things we teach at KCM Evangelism Training events that will help you formulate a plan to save the lost.

In reference to studying the Bible, we would like to share one way Brother Copeland studies the Bible. He sets aside a time in his schedule to study a particular subject or scripture(s) he would like to understand more clearly. He treats this time like an appointment he cannot miss. At the onset of this time, he asks the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself through the scripture. He then reads what the scripture says and meditates on it.

With the pressures and pain that can come in this earthly life, we can sometimes think it might be better to leave this world and go home to be with the Lord. Paul shares his feelings in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.” He goes on to say, however, “But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.” (verses 22-24).

God will permit only what we permit. He has given us the right to choose—life or death, blessing or cursing (Deuteronomy 30:19). When God created man He created him in the image and likeness of God. Adam walked and talked with God and knew Him. God never required him to be sick to know Him. Adam never experienced sickness until he changed gods. Adam was the one who made the decision to disobey. He was not forced—he made the decision on his own.

It can tend to be confusing trying to understand how, with one Lord and one Bible, we can come up with so many different viewpoints and church groups.

Wicca became a movement during the 1950s in England with the publishing of books by Gerald Gardner. Wicca is a difficult group to define because each group of people claiming to be Wiccans may in fact have different beliefs and may practice different rituals.
