God can use anything he used a donkey.

Good point. Because the guy on the donkey didn't want to cooperate.

He apparently is still using Donkeys in the affairs of men. Every time I listen to a press conference I hear dumb donkeys speaking!

LOL! I think I hear the same ones you do!


Yes, they do tear phone books in half. In fact, they duct taped two phone books together and tore them in half...absolutely no pre-scoring either. They also rolled up frying pans like burritos!

I think we had 30 people respond to the altar call tonight. Having a baptismal service tomorrow night!

It's the classic bait and switch!

It's kinda' like attracting visitors with your church choir and music program. Once they're comfortably in the pew the hog butchering begins.

I consider myself to be somewhat conservative-- and I really try to be tolerant of a lot of things that get posted here no matter which side of the fence the poster seems to be on...but sometimes it never ceases to amaze me how critical some people are.

Does it matter what method God uses to draw someone to repentance? God can use anything or anyone to reach the lost--he's looking for willing vessels that want to be used.

It's no different than using a puppet ministry to reach kids..... Reach people on a level that they will respond to.

I agree! Great post!

I've never been in a Strength Team service. I'm 71 years old (will be 72 in December if I live that long and if the Lord doesn't rapture me before that) so I'm a little old to be attending a service like that. However, services (or programs if you want to use that term) like that are a great way of attracting people and presenting the Gospel to them.

It seems to me that when Jesus fed the 5000 that day, he was reaching them on the level that spoke to where they were at at that moment. He knew they wouldn't be able to hear his message if their stomach's were growling.

I seriously believe that if he were here today trying to reach the young people of our world, he would do whatever it took to reach them WHERE THEY ARE. If that means doing a program like this, that's what I think he would do. Maybe for some other kids, reaching them would involve a sports program. Or for others it might involve computer games.

Whatever it takes - you have to reach them where they are. It's a place to start. They can't grow until they've taken the initial step
