Let me invite you evangelists to be with us in Myrtle Beach for the bi-annual Impact 21 Conference December 30-Jan.1,’09. Dr. Steve Pettit and I started this conference in 2000 to be a blessing and encouragement to our fellow evangelists and those entering evangelism. We will have great singing, preaching and fellowship for three power packed days. Special arrangements are being made for RV parking, condo rentals, golf packages etc. at greatly reduced rates. This will be a wonderful way to start a new year as we sharpen ourselves for cutting edge preaching in the 21st century.General sessions and workshops are planned dealing with varied subjects pertaining to the life and work of the evangelist. Special ladies sessions are being planned for the wives.

In this issue, I want to address two final keys that should help us all be better preachers of the gospel.

     “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” This is much more than a statement of fact. This is an affirmation of faith and a commitment to proclaim a message. This statement is a declaration of war upon the blinding forces of evil and the pervasive darkness of satanic deception. I hope you are targeting people for the presentation of the gospel.

     This narrative is just a testimony of what God is doing here in our part of the world. He alone receives the glory for what is happening here. I also realize that each ministry is unique and their programs are custom made for their location and culture. Some of the privileges and challenges that exist on our island are different from stateside locations. Yet, even though we are geographically unique, we are missionally united with other Bible centered, God glorifying, and Gospel preaching ministries through the world.

     Originally published in 1993, this classic expose was dubbed by TIME as “A stinging indictment of evangelicalism’s theological corruption.” What a description! The back cover reads, “Written expressly to encourage renewal in evangelical theology, No Place for Truth explores the interface between Christian faith and the modern world in entirely new ways and with uncommon rigor.

     Divided into three sections, these fifteen chapters issue a prophetic call back to holiness. Intoxicated with Babylon contains a careful presentation of the origin and history of the world system. This is a tremendous aid in understanding the world’s deceptive lure and its profound impact on Christians and churches.
