The Last Cord Of Evangelism

The last  cord of evangelism today is Now . If we do not do something now , this generation's evangelism will be like the man on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho ( Luke 10:30 ) . It will fall among robbers and be stripped of its New Testament urgency . Gone will be the heartbreak , tear shedding , the do-or-die soul-winning that God told us to do when He said , ''They that sow in tears shall reap in joy . He that goeth forth and weepeth , bearing precious seed , shall doubtless come again…

True Church Growth

True church growth is not the result of methods . It is the result of the supernatural activity of God , who desires to redeem persons to Himself . When a church discovers and applies the kingdom principles of church growth , increases in the church naturally follow .

The Overseer

Jesus Christ is the church's Overseer. '' For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls '' ( 1 Pet, 2;25) , Jesus the Overseer watches over and directs His churches, He sees all of His churches and observes all that is going on in the lives of His people. He places the responsibilities of being overseers on church leaders, who are to fllow His example .

Lord Of Lords

Jesus Christ is Lord of lords ( Rev. 19:16 ) . Christ is Lord and owner of all things . He is the church's absolute sovereign . The church belongs to Him . Ultimate authority for all church functions and leadership resides in Him . Christ's lordship places all church leaders in the role of stewards . Until church leaders recognize Him as their sovereign Lord , they will never experience His lordship in their leadership of the church . God bless you all.

What Is A Servant ?

What great company you will be in when you are numbered among the servants ! '' It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many '' ( Matt. 20:26-28 ) . Jesus said in that text that becoming a servant is where real greatness lies with Him and in the Kingdom to come . In…

Who Cears For Unsaved Souls ?

There are many situations in which care is needed in this world . The children of China and the hungry of Africa truly need care . Our water and air need care and concern . Some will cry out , ''We need to care for the spotted owl and the sea turtle , too ! ''  Who do you know who truly cares for the souls of men and women ? God the Father cares for souls .  He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believed in Him would not perish , but would have life everlasting . God did that because…

Sunday School

While you are thinking about what's good and right at your church, think God for your Sunday School ! There is nothing in the world like a church's Sunday Ministry . It is sad to hear of denominations that see Sunday School only for children . Sunday School is the backbone and spinal cord of a church. God Bless You All .

The Group that God Expects To Win The World

The interesting collection of folk who meet at your church house and have accepted Christ as their Savior . They are saved , and they are the Church , and they are local . They are the group that God expects to win the world ! God has chosen , therefore , to work through them to proclaim Jesus the hope of glory . Look at the people in church next Sunday and during the week submerged in their work-a-day world . They may look unlikely , but all of them are awesome spirit beings , fully able in…

And Ordinary Persons

God will so use unlikely and ordinary persons if they are willing . Consider how God reached Naaman through '' a little maid '' ( 2 Kings 5:2 ) . God used Ananias to lead Paul (Acts 9:10-18 ) . The Bible is full of how God used faithful, willing, ordinary folk. Today, God still is using people like you and me to touch and change lives through His grace if we'll allow Him in our lives . God Bless you all your Family and your Ministry.

What Are Leaders ?

Leaders are those who are willing to take the risk to help get others to where all need to be. Leaders come from everywhere and out of every background. Leaders are those who know in their heart that a certain thing needs to be accomplished, and they come to a point where they cannot wait any longer, They know in their hearts that something must be done ! At that point, they take a deep breath and say, '' I will try with all my heart to do it !'' There always are risks involved, including…

Opportunity Of FAITH

You have the opportunity of faith, which has the ability to bring everything together in a comprehensive evangelism strategy through Sunday School. God has proved over and over that when He is working His will, He can take what looks like a hopeless, empty situation and turn it into a miracle to bless multitudes and glorify Himself. All God wants for is willing peoples.

Churches That Use Faith,

When you hear and think of all the other churches that use FAITH, you will know that it is the precious body of Christ in those churches actually touching individual lives and meeting individual. '' The participants are busy, imperfect laypeople from all walks of life who have their own struggles. Even so they and their Churches have put first things first and have been gloriously blessed in the process .

The Pastor must Decide

The Pastor must decide that the Church is going to be a soul-winning, , Great Commission Church and then lead the Church to be that in the most effective way possible. May Churches preach, talk, and applaud this philosophy of Evangelism but do not do it. They need to decide, and the Pastor must lead them to that .

God's Intercession Through Us

The way of God's intercession through us follows the path of exposure, burden, prayer, participation, and coast. First, we get exposed. '' Lift up your eyes '' ( John 4:35 ) . Then, we become burdened with '' great heaviness and continual sorrow'' ( Rom 9:2 ). Next, we'll pray and talk with the Lord, and He'll talk to us about our need to do something. After that, we'll become participants in His work of intercession. And, of course, there always will be time of sacrifice or inconvenience,…

Soul-Winning Discplers

Each of us should be soul-winning discplers because the world around us needs Jesus working in, and through, us. The world of Christians needs someone to help them grow. They are a part of our world and part of our responsibility. We should feel obligated to help those newer Christians around us. You can become a soul-winning disciple not only because there is a world around you that's in need, but because there is a will. God Bless you all and have a good night Amen.

How Does FAITH work ?

It works through people who allow Jesus, who lives in them, to do what He wants to do most . The majority of Christians do not allow Christ to have way through them, especially when it comes to soul-winning, '' There was a little city, and a few man within it ; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man '' ( Eccl.…

Gods Calling

God did not call us  to be impure, but to live a holy life ( 1 Thessalonians 4:7) God chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight, In love he predestined us to be adopted as his son through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. ( Ephesians 1:4-6 )

Stay In Close Fellowship With Christ

The Lord Jesus came into this world with the will to give His life for it . Jesus had exactly the same will and compassion every day of His life and work as He did the day He hung on the cross . We are told in Luke ( 19:41 ). '' He beheld the city, and wept over it . '' When our mind is allowed to crowd out the lost , our compassionate will to see them won will melt . The obvious way to keep a compassionate will and heart is to stay in close fellowship with Christ . God Bless you all. And…

Amen and May the Lord Our God Always have a light in his heart for you ,your family and your ministry .
