Updates" which is a whole series of excellent
pre-evangelistic prophetic tape series.

series, both of which are excellent for refuting
evolutionary theory. To read some excellent excerpts

are excellent in refuting evolutionary theory
in a way science professors would find difficult
to deal with.)"

Realize, that almost any properly explained expository
study on second coming/Millennial kingdom-age prophecies can be good pre-evangelism harvesting
tools. The fields are white for harvest, just like Jesus told us they would
be. Paul said we are Ambassadors for Christ, representing both Jesus and
the Kingdom of God, our heavenly country from above. Pre-evangelism is
one of our key harvesting tools which the Lord has given us, and this tool
is mostly unused in the very parts of the world where it could prove most
effective, in the educated, technological nations of the world.
Here are two articles that prove God's Word and demonstrate where we are in
the grand scheme of things in God's plan spelled out in advance through Bible
prophecy: (click on each to access them. Print them up, put your church address
on the end page of each, distribute them and pray earnestly for results--prayer
must accompany the preaching of the gospel for it to succeed.)
"For further reading on this subject you may wish to
purchase these two books. First, "The Second Coming",
by John MacArthur, Jr. With the year 2000 upon us, it's understandable that
Christians should wonder and hope--could Jesus be returning? Pastor MacArthur
explores this possibility, taking a careful, exegetical look at Jesus' words
in Matthew 24 and 25. Cautioning against trying to guess the day or hour,
he encourages believers everywhere to pray, "Come, Lord Jesus!" 288 pages,
hardcover from Crossway Books. Available online from http://www.Christianbook.com or try http://www.amazon.com .
The other book is "The Last Days According to Jesus",
by R.C. Sproul. In his first book on eschatology, Sproul answers critics--like
Bertrand Russell--by focussing on what Jesus himself taught about the last
days and the timing of his return. The trusted theologian addresses such
questions as: Who is the antichrist? What generation will witness the end?
and When is the millennium? His answers may surprise you! 192 pages, hardcover
from Baker. Available online from http://www.Christianbook.com or try http://www.amazon.com .
Another new book by John MacArthur that is timely after
September 11th is "Terrorism, Jihad and the Bible".
MacArthur uses his extensive knowledge of the Bible and the history of the
Middle East to answer definitive questions about the age-old conflict between
the three faiths originating in the Middle East...He traces the roots of
violence in Islam, pointing to both history and passages from the Koran...This
book is also available online at http://www.Christianbook.com or try http://www.amazon.com .
