Evangelists Who Drive People Away From Christ - Is This You?

Why Would Evangelists Drive People Away?

This morning, I read a post by an Evangelist apologizing for the method in which he had tried to reach atheists in a YouTube he'd created titled "Atheism is Absurd".  Have you noticed a growing trend of condemnation in the teachings of many evangelists?
Perhaps you've noticed a trend with many preachers using the phrase

"I'm not a Q-tip preacher, here to tickle your ears." 

Where on earth do you find any of this in the teachings of Christ? This post contains my personal reflections on how some evangelists drive more people away from God rather than bring people to God, and scriptures that can help us guard against the spirit of pride that may lie behind this problem.

Joyeuses Pâques ! Christ is Risen! Go Tel!

Contemplations on Celebrating Resurrection Sunday

Can you imagine the joy and excitement of discovering your dearest friend who had been cruelly tortured and crucified returned to life? With Easter morning, the first Evangelist, Mary Magdalene was given the Good News to carry and share.  "Go Tell!" John 20: 17 NIV

When I was healed and redeemed, I was filled with an urgency to "Go Tell", and I've met many others have been similarly filled with a passion to share how God loves us so much. For me, accompanying this desire for everyone to know the Love of God, is a desire to learn more about God and to draw nearer to Him. 

Each holiday season that draws near, I am reminded of the scripture in which God says he is weary of our meaningless festivals. The first time I received this prompting in my soul to read the scripture I didn't even know it existed, but I cannot say I did not know about it. 

Are you concerned about Easter celebrations and rabbit traditions interfering and standing in the way of your walk with God?

This post has a bit of history of how Easter got its name in English, as well as a few fun ideas for returning the the emphasis to the joy of Christ's Resurrection.

Do you have some fun ideas to share for putting the emphasis back on the joy of discovering Christ alive and well too?
