Rebecca McLaughlin: Confronting Jesus

Confronting Jesus
Crossway, 2022
By Rebecca McLaughlin

WHO: Rebecca McLaughlin, an author who served for nine years as vice president of content for The Veritas Forum. In 2017, she co-founded Vocable Communications.

SHE SAYS: “Jesus chose the cross so that the curtain could be torn and we could live eternally with him.”

THE BIG IDEA: This apologetics book looks at Jesus through eyewitness testimony to show that the Gospels should be taken seriously as historical documents.

THE PROGRESSION: Each of the nine chapters explores one aspect of Jesus’ identity. 

“If Jesus is the resurrected Lord, we can’t go on with life as usual. The truth will turn our lives completely upside down.”

Because you cannot do this alone, you are going to have to trust the right individuals who know more about tech than you do. Your calling is to shepherd. Do that.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.

When Familiar Becomes Careless

God wants to be in a relationship with his people that’s not marked by fear but love. Not apprehension, but an appreciation of his great grace and compassion.
