No Argument Left

God has His own timing and His own special way of calling each person to repentance. For some people, a large event with powerful speakers and emotional music is what works. For others, a patient conversation with a trusted friend is the key to unlocking a heart. And for others, God uses pain as His attention getter. C.S. Lewis said "God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." This story from Eastern Europe ... Read more

Who Is Jesus?

There's no question that Jesus is one of history's most significant figures. His name has reverberated throughout the last 2,000 years, and His contribution has been felt worldwide. As the renowned historian and philosopher, Will Durant, has said, "The triumph of Christ was the beginning of democracy." To gauge the impact of Jesus from Nazareth, one only needs to consider the schools, hospitals and humanitarian works that have been started in His name. We should also consider the number of important universities like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Dartmouth that were started by ... Read more

Was Jesus God?

On a trip to Caesarea Philippi with His disciples, Jesus struck up a conversation about who people believed He was. After some discussion about how Jerusalem perceived Him, Jesus asked them the most critical question, "Who do you say that I am?" (Mark 8:27–30 (NIV). What we believe about Jesus's identity has dramatic implications for understanding the gospel. Was Jesus merely a good guy with a strong connection to God? If so, the Gospels are a tale about an influential man suffering a tragic fate—from which he somehow recovered. But ... Read more

Who Are Today’s Widows?

"My husband died from Ebola," said Jartu. Jartu lives in the African country of Sierra Leone. She depended totally on her husband to provide what she needed. Since his death, she was struggling to meet her basic daily needs. In many countries, widows are often devalued, ignored—even cast out of society. Thankfully, Jartu has a kind neighbor who invited her to watch the "JESUS" film. The film team showed the film in her village several nights in a row. In the film, Jartu saw how Jesus loves everyone, how ... Read more

What Does It Mean to Pray in Jesus’ Name?

The entire Old Testament is full of examples of prayer and encouragements to pray. In the gospels, Jesus builds upon that foundation by establishing the importance of praying in His name: "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it." (John 14:13–14, New International Version) "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may ... Read more

Finding Freedom Through Prayer

Here at Jesus Film Project we are in a season of intense prayer focus. Prayer is how Christians communicate and hear from God. I’m often encouraged when I hear how the Lord answers prayer among his followers around the world. Here’s one story: Rest evaded Chetana* as she tossed and turned in her bed in a village in south Asia. Relenting once again, she sat up—there would be no sleeping that night. Her head heavy with exhaustion, Chetana buried her face in her palms as she cried. Nightmares from this evil spirit ... Read more

4 Potential Missteps When Sharing the Gospel

It never fails. After we share the gospel with someone, we tend to look back and wish we would have explained things better or said things differently. That's OK. Too many people keep their faith to themselves out of fear of messing up. It's better to evangelize imperfectly than to never share at all. That said, there are some common missteps that should be carefully avoided when sharing the gospel. 1. Sticking to a script There are so many great tools out there for explaining why the gospel is important. People have had ... Read more

Opposition Can Be Terrifying

"Warning!" the radio blared. "Please change your plans. Come another night. There is danger in the area." Gentry and his Jesus Film® team in the Solomon Islands sat still as they listened to the radio call. Discouraged, Gentry pondered their course of action. This was the third time they had tried to send a film team to this area, and again, the village's enemy tribe was too close for comfort. Gentry knew in his heart this village needed to hear the story of Jesus, so he gathered his team and ... Read more

Recognizing the Right Time to Have the Jesus Discussion

There is no precise formula to evangelism. The kind of conversation you have about Jesus with a stranger is probably a lot different than theone you'd have with a family member . Your understanding of a loved one and your shared experience informs the way you talk to them about Jesus, but they can also make you cautious about sharing your faith in a way that doesn't hurt your relationship. Hopefully, you're comfortable having discussions that are spiritually deep and significant ... not necessarily the kind of ... Read more

Shipwrecked Faith

Luba's spirit was broken. The deaths of some of her dearest friends had left a mark on her soul, and she couldn't soothe her wounds. That night, she poured herself a strong drink. The next night she cried again. She poured herself another. Quickly this temporary effort to soothe herself spiraled out of control. Before she knew it, Luba was binging multiple drinks at a time—only leading to more pain, remorse, disillusion and problems. But she couldn't stop. "I was like a tiny ship in the ocean," she said, " ... Read more
