Q&A: Can You Help Our Church With Outreach?

February 1, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

Q.  Tim, if you could suggest just a few things our church could do to improve our outreach, what would they be? A.  Sure, there are a few things I’d suggest.  The Philip Center does not like to hand out “evangelism in a box” solutions that fit all churches.  Each church is different and will [...]

Prayer and Evangelism

March 19, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

by Dennis Fuqua Everyone in the Christian world affirms the value of prayer as it relates to evangelism.  But oftentimes when we pray we do not follow any biblical pattern.  We pray more the way we have heard others pray or we pray about the way we think we should.  There is nothing really wrong [...]

How May We Help You?

February 21, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

We have seen over the years, in our own experience and in others, that excitement for evangelism often comes in spikes of activity that quickly fizzle out. So The Philip Center offers a long-term relationship with your church so that you keep evangelism on the front burner. We want you to experience evangelism that is [...]

Worth Repeating

February 2, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

This quote, from D.A. Carson, came at the Plant conference I attended recently.  It’s worth passing on: “If I have learned anything in 35 or 40 years of teaching, it is that students don’t learn everything I teach them. What they learn is what I am excited about, the kinds of things I emphasize again and [...]

Missions Strong, Outreach Weak

January 28, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

Scroll Eating and Outreach

January 27, 2012 by Tim Zulker Comments Off

Apocalyptic literature, and the book of Revelation in particular, is easy to avoid for those of us who preach regularly.  Navigating apocalyptic literature is, in the words of David Helm, “a bit like being over water.  Everything is moving.”  We like the terra firma of Pauline letters with its logical sequences and familiar structure.  Even [...]
