This video truly is an inspiration. There are times when I qustieon God’s mercy- qustieon whether or not forgiveness will be granted for the up tenth time. Larry’s story shows that no crime, act of hatred or any deed is unforgivable. Once you go to God in prayer with an open heart and a willingness to do right, all else becomes “water under the bridge” (so to speak). It is a constant battle, one that God guarantees we will not fight alone.Thank you for sharing Larry’s story with Godsy Girl!
for christians to gahter is important to the mission of Jesus. we need to build one another up, by using the gifts we’ve given by the Holy Spirit. i would argue this is the only reason for church. it only exists as a means to an end to be Christ in the world. but for Christians to gahter together and encourage one another in this way is not an evangelistic tool in and of itself. and of course it’s a planned event sometimes. though most of the time when the NT mentions church, it is in terms of people being together, sharing their lives, taking care of one another not a single meeting in which we worship. so i think whether or not a church established body of believers meets in small groups or in a building is irrelevant to the ways in which they are seeking to be Jesus in their communities. i’m not against christians meeting in buildings. i’m against their outreach being inviting people to those buildings or in some cases even to those meetings in which they seek to build one another up into maturity.and, yes, i would argue that Jesus was not attractive in his ministry not in terms of these two words. you’re skipping half the definition of attractional ministry. it’s not about whether someone is attracted to you as you represent Christ; it’s about whether you’re putting out a come to us message or living among those whom you seek to serve. Jesus did the second. of course we want people to come to Jesus, as he is where they find abundant life, forgiveness of sins, and relationship with God. it’s the message of you have to come to our place on our terms in order to get to him of which i don’t approve.and i’m not saying members of attractional churches aren’t involved in culture. i’m talking about how they invite people into the kingdom. are they pulling people from their cultures in order to be a part of ours? that’s where we meet most of the problems. because it’s not reproducible or biblical.
