Rev. David Green will be speaking on
The Biblical Necessity
of Suffering in Evangelism at the
CCCC Annual
Meeting, July 26-29, 2010, in Springfield, MA. “The question is:
are we in fact ashamed of the biblical gospel? In defining evangelism
and suffering in relation to one another, we will look at Mat.5:11-14
(esp. v.11-12) and the astonishing implications of our Lord's words
there – both as regards Jesus himself and his followers. We will
explore the thesis that in the prayer life and gospel ministry
described in the NT, 'successful' evangelism has and will involve
suffering.”
