Publicly Sharing the Gospel

A message in love (and to encourage) my fellow Saints:

In the New Testament, we are told about an African called Apollos, who was an educated man with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, and had been ‘instructed in the way of the Lord’. He spoke with great fervour yet didnt have all the correct information. He still needed further study and instruction because he had some parts wrong. Priscilla and Aquila provided this missing information to him in their home. From then on he taught about Jesus accurately. When he went on to Achaia, ‘the brethren’ encouraged him and gave him a warm welcome. Once there, he proved a great help to the believers, for he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah (Acts 18:24-28).

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul arrived at Ephesus. Initially he got involved at the synagogue, where for 3 months he “argued persuasively about the kingdom of God.” Subsequently, he engaged in daily, public discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus, and this went on for two years (Acts 19:1, 8-10).

The word most commonly used to describe Paul’s method of evangelism in Thessalonica, Athens, Corinth and Ephesus is that he “reasoned” with people, but the Greek word for ‘reason’ actually means ‘dialogue’. Paul and Apollos were doing their evangelism by public dialogue.

Through our blog and our ministeries we share "missing information" with believers today so they can be correctly equipped to reach the Lost. In todays American churches you will hear messages about God's Love and having a life of happiness if Jesus is in your life. However that is not really true. Its not the biblical gospel. American Chrisitans need to get the full truth in order to share the gospel message and rightly divide the Word of God with others. That missing information, which is Scripturally accurate and fully true, can be learned at the below website.

Brethren please pray over this information seriously, consider it, meditate on it, search the Scriptures about it, pray about it and then implement it into your faith conversations with those you know and meet. Follow the Example of Christ and the Apostles and the Lord will be pleased with your service and desire to share the true gospel with those who are lost, and you will be able to equip the believers you know with this information as well.

Legalism says you must keep the law, the gospel says "you cant".
