Here, he discusses issues in creating slide sets that actually communicate well. http://internetevangelismday.com/jargon.php 2010-08-07T18:43:00-05:00 In most sermons for Christians, or any Christian magazine, there are usually very many jargon words and phrases. We feel comfortable with them! Using them makes us feel that we belong! In prayer too, we love to use these ‘Christianese’ words, as humorist Jim Watkins demonstrates. http://internetevangelismday.com/spurgeon.php 2010-08-07T17:57:57-05:00 List the most significant Christian preachers and leaders in the English-speaking world of the 19th century, and Charles Haddon Spurgeon will probably be near the top.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! I’ve been going to meetings for over seventy years all over the world—Pentecostal conferences, Methodist conferences... http://sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=19430 2008-01-23T11:00:35-05:00 Since the inception of the Church, the Gospel of Christ preached with the requirements of repentance and discipleship.
