In my family, the Bible, theology, and evangelism go hand in hand. The apostle Paul certainly modeled this in his own life and ministry for decades. And, God used him in remarkable ways. What’s more, Paul planted brand-new churches almost everywhere he went. Then, as he continued his missionary journeys, Paul took time to write brilliant epistles. Those Spirit-inspired letters review the Good News of Jesus Christ, and then present amazing theological truths and practical applications. A dozen of them have spoken to the church all through the ages.
Rarely do you find someone who knows the Bible inside out, who can teach theology to amazing depths, and who feels at ease explaining the Good News. Somehow, spending years in the classroom has resulted in complicating the simple truth of the Good News.
When our team was in Scotland, a well-known professor from Aberdeen Theological College showed up at one of our classes for counselors. Here is a man who has written books of theology, but there he was, paying careful attention to the basics of how to introduce someone to Christ.
How good that each of us can always learn more about the life-transforming power of the Good News of Christ [Romans 1:16]. That’s what these radio spots are all about.
