A LAST DITCH EFFORT?

A LAST DITCH EFFORT?
I know that the videos I recently published on FB are very basic and simple. This is intentional. I know there are people who appreciate these truths being presented in a simple way, since so many churches have neglected teaching these concepts and so few people have been going to churches in the past few decades. I just hope that I say something that helps someone, draws someone, encourages someone.

I appreciate those of you who pray for this endeavor. Let's face it, our society has suffered a dearth of Bible truth and Christian ministry in the past, but we are in for an even greater spiritual famine and drought in the days ahead, because of social and governmental antagonism and repression against Christ, His word and His people. Sadly, this puny effort may be the only way some people will actually be exposed to the gospel.

On Sunday afternoon I posted notes from my S.S. lesson, concerning the need for Christians and churches to use the internet to proclaim the gospel. If you have other internet tools, like my little videos, introducing and inviting people to believe on Christ, then you should post them, and message them, and text them, and email them to unsaved friends, then ask them to let you know how they respond and tell them you would like to talk about the video with them. If you do not have other video tools, please feel free to use mine. At least you can blame me for the short coming if they have any complaints.

The point is, if things don't change drastically in the near future, then the open proclamation of the gospel will be a thing of the past in our country.

ALSO
I wanted to add, if anyone does use this or another video in witnessing to another person, the follow-up does not have to be focused on the video or article that you share with them. The video or article is a tool to open the door of conversation.The Holy Spirit will lead you in your words.

Listen to what your friend will have to say. Address their concerns if you can. But most of all it is a time of pointing them to Jesus. A time to tell them why Christ is important to you.

Some folks may want to talk about their eternity, but they are afraid to start the conversation. This is why a tract, or a video or an article can be used as a "door opener."
