Al has made presentations on evangelism many times with the same results. Must be frustrating.
This link us from early 2010 and I may have sent this to you before.
Groups need leaders. Groups need people to follow. Without leaders group thrash about. Daily we are enundated with commercials on television and radio and the internet. We have become so used to what we hear not being true it has seeped into our churches. Who believes what the preacer says. I realize I am part of the problem but to my knowledge Al has never done what he tells us we should be doing. Groups need leaders who lead by example.
People say "I can be a Christian without the church" and we say they cannot. I believe we can. Actually most of the people on the GSMCOC list believe they can and the rest of us agree because when they infrequently show up we act as if nothing is wrong. So the question we need to answer is: Specifically what does GSMCOC do to help its members be Christians? The responsibility of the group is to encourage the individual. The responsibility of the group is to provide motivation to the individual.
Interesting our pastor believing having "gospel meetings" is valuable enough to participate in them while at the same time not believing they are valuable enough for GSMCOC to participate. We are a group, we need leaders who will lead by example.
On the subject of evangelism:
Can we be saved even though we do not do what Al suggested this morning?
If we can, who cares about those not saved?
If we cannot we had better care,
Someone needs to ask the question.
P.S. When Sue handed Dottie the minutes of the ladies' meeting I told her she was making the Men's meeting look bad. She said "Yes I am." Actually her help is not needed.
Thanks, John Jenkins
