I’ve got something stirring, something brewing in my head. I don’t have all the ends wrapped up, not yet at least. But it has something to do with the Apostle Paul’s words to the church in Corinth, from 1 Corinthians 9.
I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach the Good News!
I’ve been wrestling with how we do (or don’t do, I suppose) evangelism in our student ministry. Chris Folmsbee wrote a post about this last week. You can read that here. It’s a good/troubling thought exercise.
I’m not quite sure what to make of it, other than the fact remains that I/we are called to make disciples. I have seen many models over the last 25 years of my following Jesus. Some have been aimed at getting people to pray a prayer; others have involved memorizing a script, or scare tactics…
I don’t know where this will lead, but I know that God is moving in my heart about his call on my life to make disciples. I’m not convinced that what we’ve been doing is working–not as well as something else could.
more to come…
