Memes: Friendship Evangelism – A Generational Tool of Satan

December 28, 2020 by Tony Miano 3 Comments

The following memes regarding "Friendship Evangelism" represent things I have believed and said for many years. Friendship Evangelism and Why I Oppose It These memes are not intended to be provocative for provocation's sake. With the help of my pastors, my church family, and others who love me, I have worked hard to not be "that guy" anymore. I confess I'm still working on … [Read more...]

Friendship Evangelism: How American Evangelicals Get Away with Discrimination

October 13, 2014 by Tony Miano 3 Comments

I provide a definition for "Friendship Evangelism," here. I explain why I believe "Friendship Evangelism," as it is most commonly practiced, is neither friendship nor evangelism, here. I explain why I believe random or planned acts of kindness, without the proclamation of the gospel, are not evangelistic endeavors, here.

Some may find that statement a bit odd, especially if they are regularly engaged in biblical evangelism. But there is truth in the title--truth that, if ignored, could result in evangelism becoming little more than a sport or a hobby, with those receiving or hearing … [Read more...]

Slaying Friendship Evangelism

August 23, 2013 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

Friendship Evangelism as it is most often practiced, is neither friendship nor evangelism. Far too often it's more about the believer than it's about Jesus Christ. What happens to the "friend" if they die in their sins before you decide the time is right to share the gospel with them?
