"For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?" 2 Corinithians 2:15-16 "But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2-4 Take a few minutes and listen to John MacArthur give some insightful tips as to why a plain and open statement of the truth is the God ordained method of bringing lost people to a knowledge of the Savior.

We believe that it is this bare and simple reliance on the gospel alone that makes a successful encounter with a stranger when speaking the gospel. In fact, it was said of the Puritans that they considered their "outreaches" a success when only one thing happened: the gospel was proclaimed clearly, and truthfully with no gimmicks from the flesh. May God grant you boldness and wisdom to rely on the truth alone....

There's a cure for the SIN virus! We are given the responsibility to disseminate the cure. That's the only reason we're here. If we were saved purely for fellowship--we might as well go to heaven now, because the fellowship here on earth is imperfect. If we were saved to have triumph over sin—then we might as well go to heaven because the triumph here is severely checkered and we all live somewhere in Romans 7—wanting to do what we don't do, and not wanting to do what we find ourselves doing. God left you here to share the Gospel with the people around you. Most people have some idea of what the Gospel is, but they don't have a good enough grasp to share the good news. There's one thing we can do here that we can't do in heaven, and that is the ministry of reconciliation. That term defines the heart and soul of our responsibility as believers in the world. God will forgive ALL your sins FOREVER—are you interested? This is what we live for, preach for, this is what we die for—that people will be reconciled to God. -John MacArthur...

Inadequate Gospel = No Gospel at all... One of the most important questions we ask professing Christians deals with how they share the Gospel. Considering that only an estimated 2% of professing American Christians share the Gospel with strangers....what exactly are they sharing? What are you sharing? Are you sharing at all? We believe that the majority of Christians in America are ignorant of key components of Gospel proclamation. (For you pastors, that means in the neighborhood of 98% of your congregation and leadership team.) Well, in the video snippet below John MacArthur covers a popular selling book (a book that many of you might own) that has an inadequate Gospel presentation. We would assume that 99% truth is a 100% lie. He covers a book that has, for the most part, shaped the theology of man, many, many Christians. **understatement** So what is the book...what are the components that are missing...and more importantly are you sharing the Gospel according to the guy who wrote the book? Watch below to find out. For more information on how to share they Gospel accurately and have all of the components, please go through our self-paced training pages.

Get this book....fast. If you know anything about John MacArthur, you know that he is solid, Biblically solid. What I really like about his approach to what he writes is the fact that he leaves out personal opinion. He lets the Bible speak. I couldn't even begin to explain the solid Biblical approach of this book to fight the current day apostasy. Every Christian alive should read this book as soon as possible. Book Description: "Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake. In a postmodern culture, Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth! In The Truth War, John MacArthur reclaims the unwavering certainty of God's Truth and anchors Christians in the eternal, immovable promises found in His Word."  ...
