Back in January, I added a new word to the Mission Statement of this website: its purpose is to help you read, study, understand, believe, obey and share the Bible. Each of us is like one beggar telling another beggar where to find food. “Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).
Resources abound to enable us to do that, such as:
Ray Comfort and LivingWaters.com
https://godwrotethebook.com/how-to-share-the-bible-with-others/
Rico Tice and ChristianityExplored.org
https://godwrotethebook.com/christianity-explored/
Now I’d like to tell you about a third ministry that can equip you to engage people in discussions about God’s truth:
Greg Koukl and the Ministry of Stand to Reason (str.org)
Here you’ll find a boatload of quality evangelistic resources: articles, videos, podcasts, and other training materials on a wide range of relevant topics. Do yourself a big favor and spend time on this website. There is so much good info here (much of it free), it’s hard to know where to start.
Here are two of my favorite places on this website:
