What is your reason?

In the Ministry Today magazine, they recently had an article entitled 9 Reasons Christians Don’t Evangelize. Here are three of the nine reasons they listed: 1. We have few evangelistic role models.2. Some churches have provided no evangelism training.3. Pastors aren’t taking the lead in evangelism Those reasons are a good description of the evangelistic duties listed of a pastor in the CRC. (In the Manual of the CRC Government (article 12-a), it shares that one of the duties of pastors of congregations is to Engage in and promote evangelism. It states: Both the pastor and elders are called to participate in and promote evangelism, giving leadership as well as setting a zealous example for the congregation in the promotion of this work.). The Go and Tell Evangelism Workshop is one way to equip the pastors and elders to engage in and promote evangelism with their congregation and helps them to set a zealous example for their congregation. Go and Tell Evangelism Workshop is a three-hour seminar and is an easy and practical way to equip you to become a fisherman of men (Matthew 4:19) based on the Heidelberg Catechism. The Go and Tell Evangelism Workshop is a free online seminar and includes videos, audio, a booklet, and additional free resources. You can also schedule a Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop at your church. (See the link below.)Go and Tell Testimonial from Steven Van Zanen (Director for Missions Mobilization, Christian Reformed World Missions): “Many are concerned about the future of Christianity in America, and with good reason. The most important cure for what ails the Church is a renewed appreciation for the heart of the Gospel message and the ability to communicate that to others. The kind of training in evangelism offered by Go and Tell will not only enable people to witness to Jesus Christ effectively, it will deepen the faith of those trained and encourage them in their walk of faith.”

Matthew 13:44-46 (NIV)44  “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.45  “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.46  When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Luke 9:23-25 (NIV)23  Then he said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.24  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.25  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?

Exodus 33:12-17 (NIV)12  Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’13  If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”14  The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”15  Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.16  How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”17  And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

Matthew 1:20-21 (NIV)20  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.21  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Revelation 2:17 (NIV)17  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

Coffee Devo with Go & Tell by Pastor Book of Job Chapter 40

Job 40:1-8 (NIV)1  The LORD said to Job:2  “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”3  Then Job answered the LORD:4  “I am unworthy–how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.5  I spoke once, but I have no answer– twice, but I will say no more.”6  Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:7  “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.8  “Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
