Start Your Engines

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

When we were kids, cars with dead batteries were common - we didn’t have jumper cables, so we pushed them to get them started. Most people drove 'Roles Canardly' cars - if it doesn’t roll down the hill fast enough, it can’t hardly make it up the next.

Engines are started with batteries. Batteries are stored up potential energy. Once the engine is running - it is kinetic energy. Our knowledge of the Bible, like a battery, is our potential ability to do works that are mentioned throughout the New Testament and by which we will be judged. Our problem is that we are remaining potential.

Any battery charger that does not have an overcharge protector may burn up a battery. Any church that does not have an organized and perpetual ministry of evangelism and outreach runs a risk of burning out her members. An active, pastor-led ministry of evangelism fulfills the Great Commission, edifies the Church, and brings glory to God - it changes our potential energy into kinetic energy.

It’s not what you know - but what you do - that counts.

Pray for us. We have started our 23rd semester of F.A.I.T.H. Evangelism. Pray for our people, our visits, and a harvest of souls this semester.
