Biblical Evangelism
Alongside the A's of the Apostles' application come the B's of the basic characteristics of evangelism.
Blossoming
The second necessity is Biblical evangelism. When any organism is alive, you expect growth. So it is with the church. "Many of them believed his message and were baptized, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day."1 "For God's promise was made to you and your children, and to all who are far away - all whom the Lord our God calls to himself."2 In Southern Ontario, the spring corn is renowned for its rapid development. Initially, it shows as a pale green carpet, but it soon springs up to over six feet high in a few short weeks!
Biblical
Biblical evangelism produces growth and blossoming. Make sure your evangelism is Biblical and not your own version. Peter quotes an Old Testament prophet, "this is what the prophet Joel spoke about..."3 David said about him, "I saw the Lord before me at all times, he is near me, and I will not be troubled."4 One minister, the Rev. James King, often paraphrased a Biblical passage instead of quoting the King James version. Then he would smile and say, "That's the James King version." The moral of this story?
