]]> Comment on What is Dispensationalism? by A. W. Powers http://adampowers.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/what-is-dispensationalism/#comment-502 A. W. Powers Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:47:09 +0000 http://adampowers.wordpress.com/?p=1292#comment-502 CJ, Thanks for your comment. I think you may have misread me. The dark section in this post is by John MacArthur. Before it I stated how I did not agree with him precisely because I do think the Church is the Israel of God. I think you meant to say that you disagree with MacArthur. Thanks! CJ,

]]> Comment on Is Evangelism A Gift That Few Have? by A. W. Powers http://adampowers.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/is-evangelism-a-gift-that-few-have/#comment-499 A. W. Powers Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:38:59 +0000 http://adampowers.wordpress.com/?p=1525#comment-499 Maria, Thanks for your comment and your concern for your son, it is good to hear a mother so concerned, that tells me you love him very much. As for the issue your describing, I would say that your son is called to evangelism (as all Christians are), whether he is good at it or not. But your son is called to obey Christ's leading over man's. While I agree with your son's leaders that he should be out witnessing as much as he can, I do think it is wrong to chastise someone for not doing so, unless they are willingly being disobedient to Christ. If your son could be doing it more and isn't, he is sinning. If your son is doing what he can, his leaders are sinning. My advice? Keep praying for him, and ask God to move through Him in such a mighty way that it befuddles his leaders! Thanks again. Adam Maria,
