Evangelism
is the preaching of the Christian Gospel or the practice
of relaying information about a particular set of beliefs
to others with the object of conversion.
As
a Christian, evangelism is very important. Once we accept
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior over our lives, we
then are changed. After this change, the new convert should
"eat", "digest" and get full of the
Word of God. When we are full, we must share the Word
of God, the knowledge, the fullness of the gospel to others,
especially to those who do not know Him.
What
good is it if we keep everything within ourselves? We
have to share with others so we can grow more, gather
more, reap more of God's Word ..... then share again.
We
are a church that is reaching out to make a difference
through Jesus Christ. Extend a hand.....touch a heart.....help
change a soul.....work in the Kingdom of God. As Christians
we are to minister to the needs of those in help, even
if they don't know they need help.
Touching
the Lives of the Young and Old
According
to Matthew 20:1–16 Jesus says that any "laborer"
who accepts the invitation to the work in the vineyard
(said by Jesus to represent the Kingdom of Heaven), no
matter how late in the day, will receive an equal reward
with those who have been faithful the longest. For the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers
into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers
for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And
he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also
into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give
you. And they went their way. Again he went out about
the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about
the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day
idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.
He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and
whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even
was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward,
Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning
from the last unto the first. And when they came that
were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every
man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that
they should have received more; and they likewise received
every man a penny. And when they had received it, they
murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These
last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them
equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of
the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend,
I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a
penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give
unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for
me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil,
because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the
first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
