Evangelism Memory Verse Colossians 1:20

Colossians 1:20 (21st Century King James Version)

And having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself -- by Him, I say, whether they be things on earth or things in heaven.




Colossians 1:20 (Amplified Bible)

And God purposed that through ([a]by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled [b]back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross


Colossians 1:20 (Contemporary English Version)

And God was pleased for Him to make peace by sacrificing His blood on the cross,
so that all beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God.

William Carey- A Man with a Heart for Missions

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. Romans 5:16 & 17

Another great Evangelist was William Carey. He was converted as a teenager and began to preach at 24. In 1792 he published a small book called "An Enquiry Into the Obligation of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens" (this is the shortened title!) A quote from the book explains the call of evangelism wired into every single disciple of Christ- he writes, "This commission was as extensive as possible, and laid the disciples under obligation to disperse themselves into every country of the habitable globe, and preach to all the inhabitants without exception, or limitation." This great man of God preached the Gospel and encouraged Pastors to give to missions work. Carey and his family moved from Europe to a Danish colony in India. During those many years he pastored, preached, and translated the Bible into 37 languages. He helped to abolish the "suttee" practice where Hindu widows were burned to death alive at their husbands funeral service bonfire. He also founded a Bible College, and botanical gardens. He accomplished so much while experiencing personal setbacks and constant family troubles, yet he never looked back, he kept right on working and reaching the lost. As you read this may your heart be stirred toward missions work if it hasn't been already! If you are a Pastor may the LORD raise up people in your church that can be sent to other countries to preach the Gospel. In addition there are already many established churches and missionaries over seas who could advance the kingdom of God just as rapidly with your churches support, and they could do it with less money than over here in the States.

Evangelism Memory Verse Hebrews 10:29

Hebrews 10:29 (21st Century King James Version)

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath despised the Spirit of grace?




Hebrews 10:29 (Amplified Bible)

How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)?



Hebrews 10:29 (New Living Translation)

Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.

Reaching the Lost at ALL Costs

And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation, but as it is written: To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand. Romans 15:20-21

Through out the rest of this year I'm going to introduce to you some great men and women of God who gave their all to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we turn the final pages of 2010 and possibly time as we know it with the return of Christ any second, may God stir you up and set your heart on fire for the lost.

Rowland Bingham was heard to have said, "I will open Africa or die trying."
This brother endured against the many,many, obstacles that seemed to be designed specifically to stop him. Obstacles like discouraging words from those who were influential in his life, the death of his friends that were helping him, and being striken with illness himself. Still he persevered and he started the Sudan Interior Mission to help raise funds for his second attempt at bringing the Gospel to the Sudan. Sadly Rowland's friends lost heart and abandoned the mission and him, in addition to that blow he then found himself struck down with malaria and having to return back to England. He said that went through the darkest period of his life after that second attempt, but he tried one more time! As he learned to fight the powers of darkness through prayer, fruit started manifesting. He started hundreds of churches and even built medical centers to help fight against a local disease leprosy. After 50 years Rowland saw 10,000 people converted to Christ and nearly 1,000 churches planted. What an awesome man of God he was. He faced all kinds of hurdles, but yet he refused to give up on God's plan for him and the Sudan.
Saints of God- we too have been charged by God to fulfill the Great Commission, don't give up! God needs you! Learn to endure whatever comes your way, wage war against darkness through prayer. Watch God move through you with the intent, of helping you snatch souls out of the kingdom of darkness!!!!

Be Ready for the Backslider.

Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins. James 5:20


As we go along doing our day to day thing, may I encourage you to be ready not just for the ones who have never encountered Jesus, but also for the backslider. Be ready for those who for whatever reason, have left the truth to return to folly and error.
As you minister to them LISTEN to their hearts cry and concern, don't just try to rush them to repent so they can return to Jesus. Ask God as they talk to help you go to the root of it all and ask Him to help you comfort and build them up. Let them know that anything you can do to help them walk with Christ you will. Relationships are so important in the Kingdom and while there may be some hustlers out there--let God deal with that. He will give you discernement and wisdom for each and every person and situaion that's for sure! The main thing is we want to be the ones that God uses to help bring the wandering souls back before it's too late.

Halloween Is Coming Are You Ready To SHINE?!!


The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
The people that sat in darkness saw a great Light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did Light spring up.
From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:15-17


As we read this passage of God's Holy Word, we recognize Christ is the "Light" and just like all over the world today, in our families, in our churches, on our jobs, schools, neighborhoods, etc... there are many "sitting in darkness."
As Halloween approaches there are many personal stories I could share with you regarding the evil done in preparation of that particular dark day. I'm sure most of us have done our research and have friends and family that God has brought out of satanism etc...enough said about that fallen angel today. SO let's be like the tribe of Judah, the Bible says, that they recognized the time and knew what to do!! Children and adults will be coming to your house that don't know Christ, P L E A S E -- SEIZE THE MOMENT and share Christ! There are so many ways to do that. One way is to get goody bags filled with: candy, real fruit snacks, some helpful kid information like the importance of exercise, a church flyer and a Gospel tract.
Do you like to act? Do you like to dress up? Well get you a Jesus outfit and when the kids come to your door, open up and represent! If they ask you who you are supposed to be-- tell them!

Now if you live in a neighborhood where the kids don't trick or treat, find out if your church is doing anything and get behind them. Go buy some candy and volunteer for the evening. Seeing a child of any age come to Christ is so precious. As saints we need to make the most of all opportunities and special days, even if we don't recognize them as Christian Holydays. Honestly everyday should have the same importance thrust upon it as Halloween, because everyday there are people that need the saving and delivering power of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Remember as you witness, The LIGHT of CHRIST shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not and will not ever put that LIGHT out!

Evangelism Memory Verse Romans 5:9

Romans 5:9 (Amplified Bible)

Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.





Romans 5:9 (King James Version)

Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.




Romans 5:9 (New Living Translation)
