  I must confess to you a scandalous secret: I have an aversion to Evangelism. Oh, dear reader, please do not hate me! This distaste does not stem from a lack of love for my God – it’s just that my experience with evangelism has always been so – um, what’s [...]

  The fourth chapter of Real-Time Connections by Bob Roberts Jr. focuses on “Linking to the World.” The first several chapters laid out his vision – that we would make disciples not through increased ‘church-based’ activity, but by being obedient in our every day lives.
