God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
Billy GrahamRead
Evangelism is when the Gospel, which is good news, is preached or presented to all people.
Interpretation
Evangelism involves sharing the good news of the Gospel with everyone.
Billy Graham emphasizes that evangelism is about spreading the message of the Gospel, which he defines as good news for all people. This notion highlights the inclusive nature of the Gospel and the importance of reaching out to others with its positive and transformative message.
In practice
In a sermon about the importance of outreach, I quoted Billy Graham's definition of evangelism.
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.
Don't ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn't want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.
God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.
Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.
Heaven doesn't make this life less important; it makes it more important.
Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places.
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
Be moderate in eating and drinking. Mindful of the passing of time, engage yourself in zazen as though saving your head from fire.
"My former master taught me to accept birth and death." "Then what have you come to me for?" asked the master. "To learn to accept what lies in between."
Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all. It can neither be declared from pulpits, nor set down in articles, nor in any wise prepared and sold in packages ready for use. Truth must be ground for every man by itself out of it such, with such help as he can get, indeed, but not without stern labor of his own.
Judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
