Personal Evangelism and SInners Prayer

A Sinner’s Prayer is not The Goal of Evangelism

April 22, 2019 by EvangelismCoach

His prayer 25 years ago failed. My friend had obediently prayed with the well meaning evangelist.  My friend repeated the phrases the evangelist said, one after the next, confessing his sin, inviting Jesus into his heart. But nothing happened. There was no spiritual transaction,  no renewal in his heart, no conviction of sin, and no awareness of …

2 Reactions to Spiritual Thirst

February 7, 2016 by EvangelismCoach

I was not hostile to Jesus, just indifferent. Before I met Jesus personally, I didn't know much about Him.  I was not hostile to Him.  I was not opposed to him. I was pretty indifferent. My spiritual thrist was indifference

That's because our family only attended church on Christmas Eve and Easter.

I tried to put the facts together every now and then, but the reality is, I had no clue.

I was not hostile to faith.  I was just indifferent.

That was my level of spiritual thirst.

30 Days of Prayer: Day 20 – Spiritual Thirst and Good Works

February 20, 2013 by EvangelismCoach

I volunteered the other day and I had lunch with another volunteer. As we talked about my mother’s recent death, she startled me with the following question. I’ve always wondered, how do religious people deal with death? She wasn’t opposed to religion. She didn’t have a defined set of beliefs of her own. Spiritual Conversations occur …

30 Days of Prayer: Day 17 – Spiritual Thirst Study

November 1, 2013 by EvangelismCoach

Every person comes to Jesus for a different reason. I started my search for Jesus because of a search for unconditional love a purpose greater than my own self. I had no clue that I was a sinner, or that I needed a Savior. Sin is not always the starting point While it is true …

How to kill spiritual thirst

February 20, 2013 by EvangelismCoach

You’ve probably seen it: An opening in a conversation when a non Christian expresses their spiritual insight, or opens up about some restlessness in their heart. Then well-meaning Christians become a one-way torrent of gospel information about what a person needs to believe and why other religions are wrong. Or maybe you’ve seen this: Your …

Book Review: Spiritual Conversations by Gary Rohrmayer

January 27, 2020 by EvangelismCoach

Over the years, I’ve developed an ability to hear spiritual thirst in a conversation. Spiritual thirst is what allows me to have normal conversations about my faith and the spiritual journey of the other person.  It’s their thirst that propels them to find solutions in Christ. The concept of spiritual thirst has become a foundational …
