I truly believe that most Christians are not fulfilled in life because of one very important reason! Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to a world of such hopelessness! We have seen a cultural shift with in the church in the last 10-15 years! Most of it has been good but, there has also been a negative impact as well! I believe in our desire to become progressive we have in some ways thrown the baby out with the bath water! For example in most progressive churches we have “hired” out almost everything taking out the function and creativity of the members of the local church. Thus creating a culture of hirelings and spiritually lazy and dependent members! The word of God reminds us that we are a many member-ed body and that we are to work together until every joint supplies and causes growth of the body! In our quest for excellence and organization we should not forsake the tried and true system of God’s Kingdom on the earth! The same is true as it relates to evangelism…everybody winning somebody…Win one! Most churches today have made their people dependent on their programs to win people to Christ. Nothing wrong with a church who has organization in place to preach the gospel but, when it takes it out of the hands of God’s people and their responsibility to share the love of Jesus with others, than that’s going to far! Every Christian most share the mandate of the Great Commission!!! Our goal should be I’m going to WIN ONE…at least one at a time! Let’s prepare our hearts with prayer and fasting as we move into a tremendous season of harvest! I declare in the magnificent name of Jesus that we will double our church in 6mo. filled with newly saved believers…O YEAH!

I also believe it is our mandate to win people for christ. I am part of a street ministry team and we go out every weekend and pass out tracts and witness to the lost. We are new at faithbuilders and I was going to ask do you guys have any thing set up within the church that goes out to the streets to talk to people? I have always been amazed that when I wasen’t saved I can only remember maybe two or three people in my life ever talking to me about christ. How can we hold the gretest thing that ever happen to us on the inside and not tell other people? Great blog topic!!
god bless
