There are many divergent views on how the Christian faith should be expressed. Some say we are primarily called to be worshippers of God. Others say we are to be a body unified in love as a witness to the world. Still others say that we are to be salt in a broken world bringing hope and help to the needy. Obviously all such views are correct and can be seen in differing ways in the various expressions of the Christian church. However there still exists a great need to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus to His emerging church. His clear command – to go into all the world and preach the good news to every person – is still the over-riding cause of the Christian church.
No-one is exempt from this command. We must all assess our lives in the light of this over-riding command. To do so requires us to look at our lives in three areas.
VISION – Does our vision for life have as it’s central core, a commitment to “go into our world”.
Are we living to bring things into our world – or are we living to send things from our world into “all the world.” How have we gone into our world to fulfill the command, and expand the cause of Christ.
VEHICLE – What is the vehicle you use to carry the gospel into all the world.
We all have different vehicles, and we must respect the various vehicles used by others.
Finding our vehicle of faith is probably the most liberating thing you can do in life.
VOICE – We must also learn and practice giving a reason for the hope that is within us.
Too many people say they are unable to share their faith, but wax eloquent on every other subject under the sun. I am developing a testimony bank of videos for IPad so people can share these with their friends. IPad evangelism will be the greatest tool for the church since the print media was invented. You have a voice so get with it and share your faith with others in your world.
The most exiting revolution in church history is now happening and it is preparing the church to fulfill the great command of Jesus – to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
