A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Nearly a third of Jesus’ teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though — they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn’t. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective.
Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.

CloseA little more than a month ago, Hamas -- an Islamic extremist group with the stated goal of destroying Israel -- launched a campaign to invade and conquer Israel. Geopolitics aside, Christians have naturally had a number of different questions in response to this crisis: Should the U.S. get involved? Do we have an obligation to defend the Jews? Is Jesus coming again? As with any question that has to do with our spiritual life, we have an obligation to check with the Scriptures, rather than our own emotion.
