Evangelism

Woah today's QT just brought me back to focus once again..

It was always so difficult for myself to evangelise.. Sometimes it really work because I would sow time and efforts into meeting the needs of people.
But most of the time it doesn't and I lose heart.

Today it just dawned upon me that evangelism isn't about bring people to church. It is actually bringing God to people.

Jesus did not send His disciples out in order to bring more believers in. He sent them out to bring the Word of God to the people!
Jesus didn't meet people's need just so they can go to church. Part of a church function is to facilitate for evangelism. He went out to bring the Word of God and touch of God to each life. People just follow Him! Church is just a platform for people to come so that they are more focused to allow the Word and Presence of God to sow seeds into their lives.

Every ministry that we serve.. every preacher that we hear.. every music that we sing.. and every outing that we do.. it is all to build the very same platform to bring down God's "touch" into people's life.

This truth is going the be the difference in how we evangelise, how we do church and how we live our lives.

Indeed.. Love God, Love People.
