Often Overlooked Duties of an Evangelist2023 •
The primary duty of an evangelist is to preach the gospel. However, the Scriptures give details as to what is involved in this preaching. We begin this lesson by reading two relevant passages: 2 Tim. 3:16 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. 17 That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. Paul’s command, designed to help accomplish this, is for disciples to: 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. "Rebuke" and "reprove"! What an unpleasant duty is involved in these two words! But this is a duty that is too often neglected and with serious consequences. Imagine a world in which no efforts are made to help others become a better person, better spouse, better employee, better citizen, or a more faithful and useful Christian in Christ’s kingdom. The three highlighted words in 2 Timothy 4:2 go together. It is not enough to reprove or rebuke someone for something; it should be followed with instruction and exhortation to help with making the needed change and/or doing what is requested. Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. The words of the letter to Timothy that we just read were written by Paul as he was guided by the Holy Spirit to instruct this young gospel preacher regarding his duties. The command is especially applicable to evangelists or ministers today; but as “go ye into all the world and preach the gospel” applies to all, to the degree we are capable (based upon the talents God has given us), the command to Timothy applies to us all as well. Sadly, it has often been ignored, overlooked, or disregarded by members of the church but with no little consequence.

In this paper, I explore my own philosophy of ministry and discuss how I sought to reconcile it in a church setting that had a different philosophy of ministry than mine. I then draw out several lessons before concluding.

Service to the Poor as a Form of Service to Jesus based on Matthew 25:41-45One of the main problems faced by every country in the world today is problem of poverty, the problem seems to be continuous and endless. Poverty is still the biggest problem in the world today because this problem involves life and death. Poor people cannot get out of their problems without the help of others. The problem is that the poor don't know who to turn to to help them. If God's people were faithful in doing good to the poor and needy people, then their lives would be the same as what Jesus exemplified in His life while living on earth, and people like that would receive salvation. The act of helping those in need, especially the poor, on the other hand, is a natural fruit of salvation and is based on what Christ did for His people at Calvary. This article qualitatively uses analytical, comparative, and argumentative methods. Comparatively, the ladder model which is too rigid and normative while taking into account other examples will be compared with the garden mod...

Discipleship: The priority of the ‘Kingdom and his righteousness’Discipleship has almost vanished from normal church conversations. I will argue in this article that this is for more than one reason, but may be, because we have for some or other illogical reason, equated confrontational evangelism with disciple making. Or maybe even closer to the Afrikaans-speaking home: It is just too radical for denominations that, even more than 20 years into a democratic society, still prefer the ‘convenience’ of a culturally constituted and dominated local church. This article will dare to move even further by not only taking the rediscovery of this costly concept and ministry as happening, but also searching for what it means for disciples to ‘seek the Kingdom and his righteousness’ (Mt 6:33). The background to my research problem and question is that ‘we’ can just not afford that people, because of the church, not being serious about herself, turn away from the church – but turn to God: ‘Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to ...
