Come and See




          A point I often hear from members is that they have heard countless sermons on telling them the need to evangelize and bring others to Christ but no one ever give them a way to do it. Well, here is a way.
  Starting this week on the stand in the foyer we will have a stand for the tract of the month. Each month we will put out a new tract. First, we ask each of our members to pick up one of the tracts and read it for themselves.  The tract will be well written, eye catching, and full of good information. Second, sometime that month we ask you to give that tract to one person. You can so directly but there are many other ways to do it as well. Leave them in areas where people read things i.e. waiting room, lobbies, welcome counters. Set them out on the counter of your business. Have them on your desk.  Third, if a person that takes the tract, inform them that we will be having a series of sermons based on similar subjects this month at church and invite them to come to worship.  It is as simple as that.
Sometimes all it takes is to pique peoples interest is a simple invitation. In John 1:45-46,  Philip tells Nathanael about Jesus, that he thinks is the Christ. Nathanael is unsure about it but Philip replies to him, "Come and see."  That is exactly what we want everyone to do with this. Give people some information about Christ and his church and tell them to Come and See. This something everyone us can do to help spread the gospel.

I Know All Those Words, But That Sentence Makes No Sense To Me

  Let’s say you travel back in time six hundred years or so.  Luckily, you happen across a fellow that speaks English.  Upon hearing your tale, he describes you as nice, smart, and handsome.  Wouldn’t you feel good?   You shouldn’t.  As Sol Steinmetz in his book, Semantics Antics , explains; Nice originally meant someone who was foolish, ignorant, senseless, or absurd (middle English 1300). Smart for the first 300 years of its use meant causing pain, sharp, cutting, or severe, a sense that survives in the idiom "smart as a whip.” Handsome wasn’t complimentary. When coined around 1425, it just meant easily handled; it didn’t have its current positive connotation until 1590.   You might think he said you were a kind, intelligent, good looking bloke, when in reality he said you were a foolish pain easily dealt with.   Words have an annoying habit of changing meaning over time in the same language and it becomes even more compli...

Master Your Self

  In a contest for the toughest president of the United States, it would be hard to go against Theodore Roosevelt.  He was known for his “manly” pursuits hunting big game, climbing the Matterhorn, participating in boxing match while president. (These weren’t play fights, he lost the vision on one eye because of them!)  Once before he was about to give a speech an assassin shot him in the chest.  Roosevelt refused to go to a hospital and insisted on giving his speech, still wearing his blood-soaked shirt!   Teddy might have become tough but he wasn’t born that way.  He was a sickly child that suffered from severe asthma that almost proved fatal.  As was a young boy, doctors discovered that he had a weak heart, and advised him to get a desk job and not strain himself.  He was homeschooled because of his many illnesses and spent most of his time indoors.   But then as a teen his father, whom Teddy Roosevelt revered, told his son, “ ...

Why Does A Lion Tamer Use a Chair?

  Ok, I know you have seen the image. A lion tamer enters in the cage of the beast and forces it to obey his commands using a whip, a gun and a chair. Now you can see how the whip and gun could come in handy but you might be wondering why a chair would intimidate an animal as powerful as a lion? Clyde Beatty taming a lion with a chair   It's not that the lion is afraid of the chair -- it's that the lion is confused by the chair. Cats are single-minded, and the points of the chair's four legs bobbing around confuse the lion enough that it loses its train of thought. Casually put, the chair distracts the lion from wanting to claw the lion tamer's face off. The powerful creature could destroy the chair in moment’s notice but instead it is distracted into submission.  It’s not too much different than how Satan controls us today. By the power of God we could overcome anything that he would use to subdue us. We can overcome the evil one (1 st John 2:13-14). ...
