In the previous article – Yeshua t shirt and Romans 1:16, we began a series on how to use Christian clothes as a tool in evangelism. From Romans 16, we saw the need for us to be unashamed of preaching the Gospel. I understand that the negativity towards the Christian faith in Israel is discouraging. But you see, we should not allow that to come between us and the work God has committed to our…
Preaching the Gospel in public can sometimes be tricky. In most cases, you are nervous to start the conversation. Even when you finally summon the courage to start a discussion, you are unsure of how to go about it without being pushy. Growing in my faith, I’ve found out that wearing a Yeshua t shirt can make that process a whole lot easier. In the next few weeks, we’ll be having a series of blogs,…
So far in our study of Deuteronomy 6:4-9, we’ve learned that God wants us to love Him with all our hearts, all our souls, and all our strengths. In the article, Hear O Israel: He Who Has Ears, Let Him Hear, we saw that God also wants us to teach our children to do the same. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house,…
In our previous post – Why Is the Hear O Israel Prayer Important to the Jewish People, we learned that the prayer (otherwise called the Shema) is important to the Jewish people for three major reasons. First, it reminds them of their monotheistic belief that there is only one God, and He alone is their Source (Deuteronomy 6:4). The second reason that we discussed was that the prayer reminds them of their responsibility to God,…
Salvation is impossible without faith, as farming is impossible without the soil. Remove faith from Christianity, and Christianity will fall like a pack of cards. Apostle Paul, while explaining the “what,” “how,” and “when” of evangelism to the church in Rome, said faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). It may interest you to know that this verse is one of the inspirations behind our media projects – Free in Messiah, Israel Music Evangelism, and Hear…
“Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) From our explanation of Deuteronomy 6:4-5 so far, we’ve seen how God commanded the Israelites to keep His Words in their hearts and to teach their children. And in the last article, we concluded that God wants us, both as individuals and…
Over the past weeks, it’s been amazing studying God’s Word to explain the true meaning of the phrase “Hear, O Israel.” From Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Romans 10:17, and a few other Bible verses, we’ve seen how the phrase answers some of the most common questions about effective evangelism today. In this article, we’ll be taking it up from there to answer the question, “Why is the Hear O Israel prayer important to Jewish people?” What Does…
Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! (Deuteronomy 6:4) In the last article, we looked at Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, focusing on Romans 10, where he explained why believers should be committed to evangelism. Our key verse was verse 17, which says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” In this article, we will examine another statement made by Moses in Deuteronomy…
David is known to be many things in the Old Testament – a shepherd boy, warrior, and king. Like the rest of us, he had his weaknesses and failed God many times. But an undeniable fact is that his life is one of Scripture’s most profound examples of what it is like to pursue God and live a life of faith (II Samuel 7:18-29, I Chronicles 14:10). He exemplified humility and reverence for God. What…
Over the past few months, we’ve been considering the use of 21st Century tools in evangelism. We started with social media and explored in detail how to take advantage of its capabilities to reach the unsaved through articles and infographics. I’m full of joy to see many believers add this digital provision to their evangelistic toolkit. Afterward, we began a series on the use of Israel music videos. It’s been a while since we started…
