AMEN & Amen & Amen!!! Well said. JESUS is proud, what more can a body say? i'm reading "Hell's Best Kept Secret" for the umteenth time. It's been invaluable to sharing JESUS w/those around me in my everyday life. Minister on in JESUS, Ray. Will continue to hold you & your family up in prayer. Can't imagine the spiritual warfare on your end. i've found describing hell as, where the fire is NEVER quenched & the WORM never dies is pretty effective in conveying it's not a place you want to spend eternity also.

Yes, just TELL them! This ministry has inspired me beyond words (almost!) to witness. After getting passed the first word, fear erodes and God's power takes over. (And remember, their response is God's responsibility!) Ever since I received the Holy Spirit, I realize that some of the most precious words spoken to me are those that were about the Savior. Thanks be to God those dear folks were willing to ‘stick their necks’ out to plant and water. Now I do the same, any and every chance I get. Thank-you, Ray (and Kirk) for both your obedience and contagious zeal. Your ministry has given me confidence and urgency to be constantly evangelistic-minded. And this helps me tremendously with my own walk, as well!

Awesome! Excellent article yet again about importance of evangelism for every Christian. I always say if I had the cure for cancer I certainly would not keep it to myself, I would share it with joy to everyone in need. Sin is the worst cancer of all and as Christians we have the cure, Jesus Christ. The ministries of Way of the Master and that of Mark Cahill have totally rocked my world. First heard Kirk Cameron speak at Ichthus Festival 3 or 4 years ago on Hell's Best Kept Secret. Didn't totally sink in then, was not quite ready to receive it then. Two years ago I heard Cahill at an FCA Convention. God totally transformed my life and the way I view every single person on this planet. Still not quite were God wants me, but I definately see the path and the plan. Thanks and Bless God!

I love this article! It brings to mind that in some of his other material, this same author provides us with an excellent example of how to take advantage of the casual use of the term "hell" or when the Lord's name is taken in vain as is done in our society. We are literally given a priceless opportunity to break in with "Oh, a religious conversation!" and proceed to share the gospel. It can't get any easier than that!

Ray, I sure am glad you are ok. I love your ministry and resources. I pulled over today to help someone change a tire, I took him through the ten commandments after we were finished, and he said, "Well I really don't think I'm that bad." I pointed to the flat tire on the side of the road and said, one hole made that tire no good, sins have made us no good.
When I gave him the good news and we were parting ways, he said, "I'm glad I got a flat tire. Thank you."
How many evangelists get thanked for telling someone they're going to Hell and that they're as useless as a flat tire until Jesus patches them?
Thank you for everything you do.

GET YOKED WITH THE STRONG OX

Nice story ray. I always like to get yoked up with the strong Ox, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He always gives me the little yoke and he takes the Big yoke. Oh, sometimes He lets me pull pretty hard to make me think I am doing something also. Some would call us a team but I have come to know that it is all Christ and the less I do of myself the more we get done. But it is Him who does the heavy pulling for it is beyond my ability. The more I surrender to Him, the more He enables me. He gives me everything I need to do His will. If I am willing to be made willing, He even makes me willing to do what He wants me to do. He gives me the desire, the inspiration, the strength, the ability, the words, the wisdom,the insight,and every single thing I need to do His will. Once I was put in a situation that I would have been scared to do His will and not had the strength to do. This very large man attacked this lady and grabbed her purse. I am only 5 -5 and 130# and this man was about a foot taller and very muscular. The night before a man tried to protect a woman from being robbed and was shot to death in that town. I would have been scared and not able to do what the Lord wanted. But I called on the Name of Jesus and fear was not there for His Name causes fear to leave. I called on the name of Jesus and I really don't think it was my strength that knocked the man unconscious. I really felt like someone else hit the man with my arm. Jesus gave me everything that I needed to do His will and he will do the same for anyone if they surrender everything to Him. I was NOT a champion for God but Jesus was a Champion for me. Lou

This post is most refreshing. How sweet this boasting in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Strong Ox. It seems I rarely hear of such heart-felt glorying in Christ, such simple, unpretentious, self-effacing, Christ-exalting words. Thank you to my dear Brother from Ohio whom I shall meet in heaven.
P.S. -- I am actually writing from Nepal, not China, which is just up north. But the feedback form didn't have "Nepal" as option for country, hence my choice.

I get your email newsletter. I love getting it and i totally support what you guys do. But, I have thought from the first moment i went to your website how disorganized and hard to read it is. I am a visual person and the colors or lack there of is distracting. Is there any way that you can have your IT/Website guys soften it up and simplify it and add some nice color to it? I think it would keep readers there longer and your ministry would look more professional if you did. The more professional a ministry looks the more likely people are to give to it. If you are looking for a good website/IT person, i can help you find one. Sorry to seem critical, i really just want to help you all to be more effective.
Blessings,
Caren Cooper

I can't say I love Ray's teachings, but he has changed a lot of mine (thank you Ray). Yes, it amazes me how difficult it can be to evangelize except I try to remember what a beautiful gift it was to me. Most of the people who witnessed to me will never (till they get to heaven) know that years later i did except this Christ. Although the fire comes from the Lord we certainly can stoke through reading and "listening" to the Word.
