EVANGELISM

There is a MASSIVE evangelism crusade in the pipewroks brought to you by Plenty valley Youth and all salvos are invited. Its gonna be an 11 week evangelism fest. Every saturday and thursday night term 4... Posters coming out soon. If youre good at getting people saved expect a phone call or let me know! Its gonna consist of teaching, praying and doing! Three words God gave me are: Teach-Equip-Empower...

Also, about the whole social-justice stuff vs evangelism... Surely soul saving is more important? Its eternal right? I think soul saving is the most important thing about being a salvo (even officers agree that soul saving will be there number 1 priority...). The social-justice and charity stuff, whatever you want to call it is good too. But not the number one thing... We need to have the social stuff, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked etc, we cant do that without evangelism and cant have evangelism without works of love and compassion...

Jesus sums it up nicely for us to the Samaratin woman:

"Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4)

Surely soul saving is more important. It lasts forever! If people get saved they can be freed and healed!

If your wondering what to do, and asking God "what should i do?" The great commission hasnt changed. Its still the same. Go get some people saved! Remember no revival has ever happend without aggressive evagelism... (from bonnke)

Spiritual evangelism must be done by those who are truly saved to serve.Without the power of the Holy Spirit we cannot do it.You have His power but many need to claim it even amongst those who claim to be saved.I am praying for revival amongst our own people so that they will have this power and desire to reach the lost.

Are you serious!? Have you read the New Testament? Every story of salvation is tied in with justice on an economic, social or political level. Do we even know what salvation is? Do we really get what Jesus was on about? Is it too hard to think deeper about this stuff? No wonder people are staying away from our churches because they only offer the spiritual dimension - Jesus though, was on about transformation of the whole person. Now that's salvation im interested in!!

Are you serious? They are staying away because they are NOT being offered the spiritual dimension. There is "justice" as you call it being offered everywhere in TSA, but Jesus, not much. Seek first his righteousness.
