Lately, I have been enjoying the messages of Ken Ham
from Answers in Genesis. This video message is approximately 50 minutes in length and was recorded years ago at Liberty University.
In the lecture, Ham compares and contrasts the preaching methods of the apostle Peter in Acts chapter 2 (to a Jewish crowd) with that of Paul's message at the Areopagus in Ancient Greece as documented in Acts chapter 17. Mr. Ham has well noted that if our desire is to reach the lost with the Gospel, we need to be in prayer and following the leading of the Holy Spirit. He also notes that most modern evangelistic methods go straight to the New Testament in their proclamation of the Gospel, whereas it should be very dependent on the background and culture of the person with whom we are sharing.

While I don't agree with everything stated in this message or other AiG materials, I believe the issue is critical for us to understand as we are living in a very Greek culture, that is, one who believes in evolution and does not generally have a Biblical worldview or even an accurate history of the world. As always, the focus of the message of the Gospel is the authority of God's Word, conforming our own thoughts and beliefs to agree with the God who is beyond time, who proclaims a 6 day creation as truth as He was the only One who caused and witnessed that creation.
