The Evangelism

Paul's challenge to Timothy 2,000 years ago remains a clarion call for pastors today: "Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry" (2 Tim 4:5).

Because evangelism is the central work of a Christian's life, there is a great need for pastors to understand what evangelism is and what makes it effective. Much of modern evangelical culture has become memorized conversations, pre-packaged formulas, and programmatic approaches that serve as poor substitutes for the simple proclamation of the gospel. In Evangelism: How to Share the Gospel Faithfully, John MacArthur along with pastors, missionaries, and church planters from Grace Community Church give the summons to return to the basics.
