Commentary on "Corporate Evangelism and Witnessing"
Day 7: Friday, May 18, 2012 - Further Study
OVERVIEW
Today's lesson is focused on making sure your evangelistic goals are realistic, affordable, achievable, and sustainable.
OBSERVATIONS
Today's lesson ends, asking the following questions:
- Why is it that churches that are so busy fighting among themselves rarely do outreach?
- How can you help your church move away from preoccupation with itself and get busy with the work of outreach?
- To what extent are the members involved in witnessing and evangelism teams?
- How many members of your church have even the slightest idea of how to work for the conversion of souls?
Those questions remind me of the James 1, 2 and John 15 principals:
- It is not enough to be a hearer of the word, you must also be a doer, otherwise you are deceived (James 1:22).
- A faith without works is dead (James 2:17-26).
- Those who abide in Christ will bear much fruit (John 15).
SUMMARY
Churches with those sort of problems really should evaluate their system and what it teaches, because Truth doesn't produce the kind of fruit one sees described in those questions.
