If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. ~Robert Fulghum

The Great Commission - A Personal Instruction

Matthew 28:16-20: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Great Commission is one of the most significant passages in the Holy Bible. First, it's the last recorded personal instruction given by Jesus to His disciples. Second, it's a special calling from Jesus Christ to all His followers to take specific action while on this earth. We have identified five principles of Christian Evangelism that we would like for you to consider. This week we will look at principle five.

5. Be Prepared for What You May Face
Many non-Christians have a vision of witnessing and evangelism that involves Christians "in your face" about faith. Some will avoid any discussion of religion, because they have had some very bad experiences with "forceful" Christians. Others will have misconceptions about God's nature. By practicing your evangelistic techniques you will find that talking to others about the Gospel will come easier over time.

When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you've got plenty to watch. ~Author unknown

What to do with your one life? The same thing you would do if you had two lives, and this was the second. ~Robert Brault

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. ~Annie Dillard (our favorite)

Our lesson for this Sunday will be on “Living in Victory” by Dr. Damon Shook. It is a great lesson and the last in Damon’s series.

We have identified five principles of Christian Evangelism that we would like for you to consider. This week we will look at principle four.

4. Set Limits
Again, planting a seed is an important part of witnessing. Avoid being a Christian that has to see a result, because you could become one of those argumentative witnesses that think they can "debate" someone into the Kingdom. Instead set goals and limits for your discussion. It helps to know your audience or practice conversations. This way you will know how to answer tough questions and be prepared to walk away from a discussion before it becomes a shouting match. You will be amazed at how many of those seeds you plant flourish over time.

When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you've got plenty to watch. ~Author unknown

Prayer List: Please pray for the health of Leonard Kelly in Indiana. Leonard is a friend to many and a relative to several members of our church. His friends and family truly need your prayers.

2 Timothy 4: What it means to all Christians

2 Timothy 4:  1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. 5 As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

What does this mean to you as a Christian? It was important for Timothy to preach the "Good News” so that the Christian faith could be spread throughout the world. We believe in Christ today because people like Timothy were faithful to their mission. It is still vitally important for Christians to spread the Good News. Half of the people who have ever lived are alive today and most of them do not know Christ. He is coming soon and he wants to find his faithful believers ready for him. It may be inconvenient to make a stand for Christ or tell others about his love, but preaching Word of God is the most important responsibility the church and its members have been given. Be prepared for, courageous in and sensitive to God-given opportunities to tell the Good News.

We should always be ready to serve God in any situation, whether or not it is convenient. Be sensitive to the opportunities God gives you.

Paul told Timothy to “correct, rebuke and encourage.” It is difficult to accept correction, to be told we have to change. But no matter how much the truth hurts, we must be willing to listen to it so we can more fully obey God.

To keep calm when you are jarred and jolted by people or circumstances and not react quickly. In any work of ministry you undertake, keeping your head makes you morally alert to temptation, resistant to pressure and vigilant when facing heavy responsibility.

2. Other Religions Aren’t All Wrong

Some Christians think that witnessing is about disproving other people's faiths and religions. However, that isn't necessarily true. There are inherent truths in other religions that are also present in the Christian faith. For instance, doing good things for the poor is a part of many religions around the world. Don't be so focused on proving their beliefs wrong. Instead, focus on showing how Christianity is right. Show what your faith does for you and talk about why you believe it is the truth. This way you'll keep people from getting defensive and allow them to actually hear what you have to say.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. ~Ayn Rand

“Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be: there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.” Thomas Chalmers

We visited with Pastor Mancilla and Esther last week and discussed the next remodeling project for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. They were extremely complimentary of all work completed. We determined that instead of remodeling two of the downstairs bathrooms we would remodel the remaining three. It is the Pastor’s intent to move some of the older girls upstairs to separate them from the younger children and, of course, they would need their own bathroom. When the project is completed we will have remodeled all four bathrooms, the kitchen, pantry, serving area, upstairs dorm room, adjacent meeting and work facility, replaced screens and doors and installed a septic system that really, actually works. We currently have financial commitments to remodel two of the remaining three bathrooms and we are absolutely positive our Father will provide for the completion of the project.

1. Understand Your Own Faith:  Understanding the basics of your Christian faith can go a long way in easing your fears of sharing the gospel. Christians that have a clear vision of what they believe find it easier to share their faith with the people around them. Before you start witnessing to others, be sure you know what you believe and why you believe it. Sometimes even writing it down can make it all clearer.

Family life is a bit like a runny peach pie - not perfect but who's complaining? ~Robert Brault
