Self-Love: Rethinking the Doctrine and Its Use in Evangelism

July 8, 2020 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

I have often told people the reason they don't see the gospel as a message of love is that they love themselves more than they love God. I was wrong. Evangelista, Semper Reformada "Preacher [or 'evangelist'], Always Reforming." That's the English translation of the Latin phrase Evangelista, Semper Reformada.

Evangelism Tactics: The Unbeliever Judges Himself Unworthy

April 10, 2020 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

If you've engaged in any kind of public evangelism, you've probably run into the unbeliever who says, "Doesn't the Bible say don't judge?"

February 15, 2020 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

In doing so, David produced one of the most beautiful stanzas ever written about the inerrant, infallible, God-breathed Scriptures.

Enoch the Prophet and the Patience of the Wrath-Filled God

August 6, 2018 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

This article was inspired (for lack of a better word), by a recent sermon that was preached by my pastor--Mike Reid.
