Website Evangelism

The following are some more stories of people who have been blessed by the ministry of Website Evangelism.  While setting out to reach the lost, it has become apparent that this ministry is destined to touch the lives of Christians too.

The following person sent two emails.  One after the had done the Good Person Test and another after a followup email.   

First:  “this was a very touching moment in my life I have been raised with Christian values but I would always sin. I thought I was saved until this test. I have sinned. A lot. But know I am a changed person because of the test. I am truley happy. Thank you for all you have done.”   

Second:  “Thanks for responding, I have always been intrigued by the thought of 2012 and "the end of the world" I had just stumbled upon this sight where I found the god test. I did look up Philippians 1:6 (being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.) and I couldn't agree more with it. Thanks”      Brad

“You have a great website and a unique way of presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm sure there are many who will go there and look at it and be intrigued by the questions and want to know their own answers.  I am a Christian but I think this is a good way to present this to people who might otherwise turn away from it.”   Cheryl

The next response is in two parts.  The first response shows how some Christians struggle with speaking about hell when presenting the gospel.  The second shows two things: that with teaching, people can be helped to see the way Jesus preached the gospel - law to the proud and grace to the humble; secondly it shows a very humble and teachable spirit in this young person who really wants to grow in God.   

First: “Change your website. It sends the wrong message. Instilling fear in people isn't the best route to get them to love God. Christ's number one commandment is: Love. That's the right path.” 

Second: “What an incredible message you have sent me! In all honesty, I was not expecting such a long, detailed description of your reasoning behind the website [does not know the author of the email very well], but I appreciate it greatly. It has helped me understand your motives behind emphasizing the true dangers of hell.   

I myself am only ........., and I know I have a lot more to learn about Christianity. Sometimes I wonder if this world influences my beliefs and waters them down a bit. It makes me sad, when I think about the newer generations of young Christians who don't see the necessity of church, or the necessity of living a disciplined life. It makes me truly sad when people flippantly use God's name in vain or laugh off homosexuality as something Christian bigots just need to "get over already."

You bring up many good points, and I didn't find one thing I disagreed with in your email. I guess my point is, so often Christians send the wrong message to nonbelievers and I've been trying to change that in my personal lifestyle……. Thank you again for taking the time to email me. It was greatly appreciated”    Tessa

From someone who had a good look at themselves through the light of God's moral law to see them self as God sees them.

“i took your test...i found myself sinful to a great extent...what can i do to redeem my faults?  please suggest...”   Prathyusha

The following was in response to an explanation that was given of creation to someone searching for truth.  This person is an environmental consultant and a new Christian (just before coming to the site).  He wrote several times.  The following are excerpts from two different emails he sent. 

First: “I have to say I am very happy I sent you that e-mail a while back.  There is no one here who will acctually have a debate like this with me.  It is great to find someone who does not get angry and will present an actual response.  This is good for me.  I cannot wait to see your full response.”  

After the full response (had had sent a partial response) he wrote…

Second: “Wow, I mean that Wow.  I have made an initial run through your response and honestly I feel a bit silly.  I never thought of things this way.  At first read it makes alot of sense.  I have to go back and re-read it so that I can obsorbe this info.  I am also looking forward to reading all of the bible passages you reference with these questions on my mind.  It has been a real pleasure exchanging ideas with you and I hope you will update me on the new sites you create in the future.  Feel free to write any time.”    Lance

The following was part of a response from a youth pastor.

"To be honest I stumbled upon your site ready to argue with you about the world ending in 2012, but what I have found is a very well rounded, and solid view of scripture, Thanks for taking the time and effort into putting this together, I think that it will help untold lives.  Blessings."  Joshua

From a curious, repentant Christian (this is a guest book entry)

I'm a Christian and have been for a while. I found your site just out of curiosity about 2012 and the Mayan calender just wanted to learn about. Though I don't necessarily believe that that is the day the world will end, your site was very educational of that veiw. But I want to let you know - and I just have to praise the Lord - your site has led convicted me. I've been under conviction for a while and have been ignoring the Holy Spirit. After seeing some things on your site I couldn't bear it anymore. I spent time in prayer - right here at my computer - begging the Lord to forgive my sins. I'm so guilty but God is so good. Just by bringing my guilt to Him and admitting it I know He has paid my debt. His mercy is so overwhelming. I want to thank you for being a tool God has used to bring me back to Him. God Bless you and I pray that this site touches others the way it has touched me!  Shea
