Much has been written and spoken about God's Plan for Sharing (G.P.S.) in recent months. By now you are aware that G.P.S. is not a program, but an emphasis or initiative by the S.B.C. to simply say, "we need to get back to making the main thing (sharing Christ with everyone), the main thing!" This initiative comes as our beloved convention is experiencing years of a lack of growth in this key statistic representing souls being "born again" into God's Kingdom! A recent survey by Parade of spirituality in America revealed that although 69% of those surveyed said they believed in God, 59% said that all religions were valid and 50% said they seldom attend religious services.

Lakewood Pastor Connects Faith with Flight

Evangelism

Lakewood Pastor Connects Faith with Flight A new book by a Colorado Baptist pastor connects lessons learned while piloting airplanes to lessons applied to walking in faith. When Faith Takes Flight by Bear Valley Church pastor Jim Walters is "the gospel according to a flight instructor." Jim learned to fly 40 years ago and has been teaching flying longer than he has been preaching. He says, "What makes me weep and pound the table is talking with young people every week who claim to be believers but cannot articulate even the basics of their own faith." Read more

Evangelism Made Real

Evangelism

Posted Tue, 2009-11-03 11:18 by Christy McDonie

Without a doubt one of the most exciting things to be a part of is leading someone to faith in Jesus Christ. As I discovered this past month, a close second would be seeing someone you have been discipling lead someone to Christ for the very first time ever. I remember when Mark and I first talked about sharing Christ. It was a foreign thought to him, and he was reluctant to go there. Read more

GPS...God's Plan for Sharing

Evangelism

What is the ultimate goal for God’s Plan for Sharing (GPS)?

The goal of “God’s Plan for Sharing” (GPS) is to fulfill the Great Commission in North America by Every believer sharing and Every person hearing by 2020. This journey is guided by a process with four biblical markers:

Praying- every church praying for lost people
- Does your Church have a SIMPLE PLAN?
Engaging- every believer sharing as a trained witness
- MEDIA BLITZ to help spread the Word.
Sowing- every lost person receiving a witness
- Does your Church have the RESOURCES to share the Good News?
Harvesting- every church harvesting and celebrating every salvation result.
- Make a COMMITMENT to God and your community.

FROM THE WEST TO THE WORLD

There is much written and discussed these days about Globalization. If one gets on the Internet, looks at seminars for leaders in the business world or even watches CNN or any of the video news magazines, the term is used frequently. The difficulty comes when we try to nail down exactly what Globalization is. Webster’s New World Dictionary lists it as: glob-al-ism (-iz|m) n. a policy, outlook, etc. that is worldwide in scope --global-ist n. , adj.

Or glob-al-ize (globl iz) vt. -ized, -iz|ing to make global; esp., to organize or establish worldwide --glob|al-i-zation n.

Most business writings characterize it as a “global village” or “one world government”.

I wish us to look at globalization in a Biblical sense.
