Part 3 BRIDGING BELIEFS: Communicating the Christian Faith to Buddhists

Pastor Barron Greenwalt discusses the increasing presence of Buddhism in Western Pennsylvania, highlighting the contradiction of Buddhism coexistence with Christianity among some believers. He emphasizes the need for Christians to clarify their faith, as Buddhism promotes an atheistic view and differs significantly in beliefs about suffering, the self, and salvation. Greenwalt offers practical ways to share the gospel with Buddhists, such as forming genuine friendships, addressing shared concerns, and highlighting key theological differences. He underscores the importance of clearly proclaiming the exclusive truth of Jesus Christ while demonstrating respect and compassion toward those with differing beliefs.

When the Gavel Falls: Jesus, the Only Judge Who Gets It Right

When the gavel falls, only one Judge gets it right—Jesus. He sees every hidden motive, every ignored Lazarus, every injustice. The rich man had no appeal; the Sanhedrin’s kangaroo court condemned the Innocent. Yet the One they judged will judge them—and us. His nail-scarred hand/wrists holds the gavel of perfect justice and mercy. Because He was judged in our place, the guilty can go free. One day every knee will bow to the King who became poor to make us eternally rich. Come to Him now; the chasm is still fixable today.

A Heart for the Lost: Praying with Faith and Living with Purpose 

At En-Joy Ministries, Pastor Barron Greenwalt hears countless prayers for divine healing and the salvation of lost loved ones. These heartfelt burdens drive our intercession, rooted in scriptures like Luke 19:10 and Matthew 18:18. We pray with faith, binding the enemy and trusting God to send laborers to share the Gospel (Matthew 9:38). Our lives must reflect Christ’s joy and strength (Nehemiah 8:10), serving as a testimony to draw others to Him. As we stand in faith for prodigals and seekers, we praise God for victory, believing He is faithful to restore and redeem (Philippians 1:6).
