July Topic: Mission - The Call Of God |
This month I want to remind us What ON EARTH We should be doing! And What is our FATHER'S heartbeat? What is His greatest desire? |
Titus 2:10
SO THAT IN EVERY WAY THEY WILL MAKE THE TEACHING ABOUT GOD OUR SAVIOUR ATTRACTIVE
Be on your guard!
Our 'job' is to make the teaching about God our Saviour attractive.
I'm sorry but I have to say that when I was working in the Banking Industry in England for nearly 20 years, many of the Christian staff and customers made me embarrassed. The customers were often rude, unprofessional, demanding and careless and the staff were unreliable, undisciplined or abrasive.
Praise God there were exceptions who were a delight and privilege to meet and to class as friends and 'family', but they were definitely in the minority.
I also remember working in an office tower block in the City of London and every once in a while this 'man' would arrive. He looked like a burglar - wrapped in a Gaberdine Great Coat, Trilby hat over his eyes, big black Bible under his arm, car battery at his feet and megaphone in his hand. He would proceed to 'sing' - well I guess that is what he thought he was doing, (making an 'unjoyful' noise, I'd call it) - and then follow up with a high-pitched screamed warning and try to hand out tracts.
I, along with my colleagues would rush to close our windows and turn up the air con! I can also remember, to my shame, being involved in 'open air' witness of the embarrassing kind, when I was young.
Yes, we need to witness. Yes, we need to go where the people are BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, MAKE JESUS ATTRACTIVE!
Learn how to share your faith without an argument. Try asking these questions (courtesy of Bill Fay):
1) Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
2) To you, who is Jesus?
3) Do you think there is a heaven and a hell?
4) If you died right now, which would you go to?
5) If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?
Let them read the relevant Scriptures - Rom 3:3; 6:23; John 3:3; Rom 10: 9 - 11; Rev 3:20.
Jesus is the "fairest of ten thousand"; He is the Bright and Morning Star; He's the Lily of the Valley; He is the Rose of Sharon; He's the Healer of the sick; He's the Releaser of the captive; He's the Champion of the weak; He's the Lion of the Tribe of Judah; He is the Total Answer for every need.
HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY!
Resolve today, that when you teach/share/talk about Jesus, God Our Saviour, you will make Him attractive to all your hearers and listeners!
