The Way of the Master

www.wayofthemaster.com is a fantastic website full of practical information on how to approach a person with the gospel of Christ and get them to understand their need for a savior. There are people in the world who not only aren't saved but they don't know that they even need saved from anything. They've simply never been told OR they have never really understood the whole gospel message.....they've been "turned off" because something or someone has abused the gift of evangelism and really messed up what Jesus intended about how to deal with people.

"The Way of the Master" also is a television show I use to watch on SkyAngel often. I think it's shown on cable channels now, too. Anyway, this program is absolutely fabulous and yet at the same time, it makes me very sad and I'm often brought to tears while watching it. People on the street are discussing with Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron (and I think a few other people now), about what what that person on the street believes and why they believe it, etc. Ray and Kirk show us step by step how to talk to these same people about the gospel in a way that will not cause the person to close their ears but actually stay and have dialog with you. They talk to everyone from all different walks of life and some are even quite dangerous.

They have something they teach us...... Are You A Good Person? Are you good enough to go to Heaven? How do you know? There is a "test" on their website that you can take to find out the answer. It's based on The Ten Commandments and how we end up failing at keeping the law and therefore need a savior so we don't have to take on the punishment that we deserve for our sins. They tell the person "Do you know what Jesus did for you so you don't have to go to Hell?" This is the same technique they get us to use with lost souls we meet everyday. They show us how to reach people through thankfulness to Jesus for dying for us. People have to know that they are wrong and God is right but they also need to know that there is hope and Jesus came to bring it to them.

Anyway, check out the television show and the website. Take the test for "fun". It will probably work best with high speed internet access. On the website, you can watch video clips from their talks with people out and about and the kind of discussions they have. These guys have guts but more importantly, they have a love for the lost.
