Too slothful when it comes to 1 on 1 evangelism, and not enuff time spent in the lives/meeting the needs of new converts. I also feel like the churches have preached Acts 2:38, standards, shoutdown, and Deut. 6:4 so much (in my "world") that "we" havent taken the time to train people of the "covenant relationship" with Christ. For better and worse.....thru all. We need 1 God, Jesus name baptism, and Holyghost, modesty etc.. but, We also need people know more than that, like what is covenant relationship w/ Christ. Heb.6 going on into perfection... I'm out of time to post right now, just wanted to let U know I'm looking forward to learning from this thread. Thanks for starting it. |
There are things each of us can learn from each other through experience, trainning, and relationship to Jesus Christ. It is an area that lay leaders, saints and pastors need more awareness and training in.
Blessings, Rhoni
