Our topic this month: Do vs. Done and Evangelizing Catholics. There are only two kinds of religions in the world: those that provide their adherents with things they must "do" in order to merit heaven, and Christianity which proclaims a "done" salvation through the finished work of Jesus Christ. In this issue, evangelist Bill Jackson discusses issues critical to success in evangelizing not only Catholics, but any religionists/doers. Bill's article is on the "DADPAD" method of evangelism - Discover a Do, Present a Done. Like the article? You can also READ Bill's book on Do/Done.

What is a Catholic taught to do to achieve heaven? That is the topic of my article this month: The Infinite Do-Loop of Catholicism.

  

In the news, the elevation of John Paul II to sainthood passed a major hurdle with the publication of his case on January 14th and the simultaneous scheduling of his beatification. Ex-priest Richard Bennett (www.bereanbeacon.org) presents an article on the alleged holiness of this most famous of Popes.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who ask you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meakness and fear" (1 Pet. 1:15). I pray that each of us may be used by God to present the gospel this month in a spirit of gentle confidence in the salvation that has been accomplished once and for all by our wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ.
