‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues. The assumption is that you will want to study a controversial topic from various angles before you arrive at a conclusion, rather than simply believe what someone told you when you were impressionable! (So some stuff here is ‘hot’. Proceed at your own risk!). See the Statement of Faith for John Mark Ministries' theological stance.

Don’t Talk About Jesus? By Zig Ziglar

By and others ⋅ January 6, 2003 ⋅ One comment

When I first turned my life over to the Lord, some of my friends and associates cautioned me-“for my own good”-not to try to convert the world. They suggested I had a good thing going and that I would upset others and offend a lot of people if I mentioned Jesus Christ in my talks. […]

Rethinking Evangelism

By and others ⋅ January 6, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve taken Christian newspapers into pubs to evangelise the drinkers. I’ve served in Christian coffee shops searching for the conversational opening which would allow me to tell wind-burnt surfers that Jesus loved them. I feel like Paul trumpeting how Jewish he had been when I say I’ve given personal evangelism more than a good try. […]

An Australian In Turkey

By and others ⋅ January 6, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

Turkey as we experienced it – notes on Sky-Link’s ‘Taste of Turkey’ tour, May 2001 Turkey is indeed a ‘crucible’ – historically, culturally, in geography, in religious terms, and now politically and militarily. Straddling Europe and Asia (Asia Minor of Biblical times) this is a country seeking to operate as a modern, secular state, in […]
