The first thing out of your mouth?

Francis Chan - Stop praying video

This asks the question, "what would be the first thing out of your mouth is you actually approached the Lord in person, in all His fullness today"? The encouragement is to stop the standard repetitive prayers and actually talk to the Living God. Thank you Jesus for such a privilege.

Restaurant Evangelism

By Becky Roach | Posted July 14, 2011 | July 14, 2011

 

Scene: A few friends sitting around a table at a Chinese restaurant.

 

Bri: This place is AMAZING. This is the best fried rice I have ever had. I can't wait to tell everyone about it and get them here.

 

(Everyone at the table quickly turns and gives her a weird look.)

 

Erin: Are you crazy? Why would you tell people about this place? You don't know enough about it. Do you know when it was started? Who's the head chef? What's the calorie count of everything on the menu? How many wines do they offer? Bri, you can't tell anyone about this until you learn more. It's not like you're a chef or something. What do you know about good food?

 

Bri: I didn't really think I had to know everything. I mean this food is ridiculously good. Isn't that enough to get someone to come? I mean this is really, really awesome. Seriously, try the Lo Mein.

 

John: Bri, that's just the thing. You can't push your Lo Mein noodles on other people. They'll be totally offended. What about the vegans, huh? Did you think of that? They might not want to eat your Lo Mein noodles; when you tell them about this restaurant they're going to get really upset with you.

 

Bri: Really? You think people would be mad just because I suggested a restaurant?

 

John: Oh, yeah. Not only that, they'll make fun of you. They'll probably call you names. They might even beat you up. They'll say you're close-minded. I mean, this place only serves Chinese food. What about Italian food, Mediterranean Cuisine and Mexican food? Telling someone about a place that only serves one kind of food is ridiculous. If you try to get people to come here, you won't have any friends left by tomorrow.

 

Bri: OK, but tomorrow they are having a great special—buy one, get one free. Don't you think we should tell people about that? Did you guys taste these lettuce wraps? Who wouldn't enjoy these?

 

Gina: Come on Bri. You're really busy with a million things tomorrow. Is it really that important to get people here and take all that time out of your day just to tell them about this restaurant? Someone else will do it. It's not your job to be a walking commercial for this place.

 

Bri: Wow, what was I thinking? I guess you guys are right. I mean, I wouldn't have any idea where to start. No one has ever taught me how, given me a class or taken me to a seminar on how to tell people about a good restaurant. Let's just enjoy our food and keep it to ourselves.

Hold up a sign that says: THE END

 

Narrator: Will come on stage to do the wrap up: "We hope you caught on to our skit and the idea behind it. The excuses we give for not telling others about the powerful love Jesus has from them sound silly when we are talking about a restaurant. We don't think twice about recommending a place with good food to someone, but when it comes to offering the Bread of Life, our minds make up a million reasons for us not to do it: 'I don't know how. I'm too busy. I don't know enough. I'll be thought of as close-minded. Other people are doing it. I'm not good at it. The list could go on and on, but these are just excuses. Someone took the time to introduce you to Christ. Aren't you grateful that person didn't let anything hold him or her back from sharing the gospel with you? Pray for the power of Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit to enable you to move past all fears and share the love of Christ. Who will you invite?"

Who will you share the gospel with today?

Announcing Launch of SAVN.TV

News from Territorial Commander Knaggs below....

----------------------------------------------------------

The Salvation Army
Territorial Headquarters - USA West
Office of the Territorial Commander
________________________________

~INVITATION~
Saturday, September 10, 4:30 p.m. (PST)
The Initial “Beginning” Launch of SAVN.tv

Soldiers and Friends of the Western Territory:

Not only are the above Internet TV call letters an acronym for Salvation Army Vision Network; they are also a contraction of the word, “SALVATION.” SAVN.TV is a Salvation Army Internet Mission Station where salvation can be proclaimed and found.

Jesus first cast the vision for this Mission Station in His proclamation of the Great Commission: Go into all the world and preach the good news (of salvation) to all creation (Mark 16:15). William Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army, carried this vision into the 20th Century with his proclamation: “We are a salvation people. This is our specialty – getting saved, keeping saved, and getting other people saved.” A century later General John Gowans framed the vision this way: Saving Souls, Growing Saints, and Serving Suffering Humanity.

My vision for the 21st Century forward is this: The Internet and Cyberspace is our contemporary, virtual street corner ‘into all the world’ and ‘getting people saved’ – Cyberspace for Christ!
Orders & Regulations for Salvation Army Officers captures the Founder’s vision this way: “...he will not only make use of the Army’s time-honored methods of evangelism, adapting them in the most effective way possible to the needs of the hour, but he will courageously experiment with new ways of making Jesus known as Savior of men. In other words, he will be willing to be dedicated to failure. In the divine economy this could be the way to God-glorifying success.”

So ordered, we will be launching the first experimental phase of savn.tv during the Welcome of Cadets
Weekend, September 10, 11, 2011. It is the “beginning phase,” and will expand as “the spirit quickeneth – gives (it) life” (John 6:63).

Please accept this as a personal invitation to attend this first phase launch on www.savn.tv beginning with a Red, Yellow, Blue Carpet Event, live-streamed from the Pasadena Ambassador Auditorium at 5:00 p.m. (PST), featuring cadets from the Proclaimers of the Resurrection session. And I will be there to greet you personally. The Welcome of Cadets Meeting will also to be live-streamed following at 6:00 p.m. (PST).

There you will also find a beginning menu of “On Demand” programs to be viewed, along with a list of “Coming Attractions,” including a live-streamed 9/11 Service of Remembrance at the Long Beach Temple Corps on Sunday, September 11, 2:00 p.m. (PST), featuring Salvation Army leaders who led the army’s work at Ground Zero. Please feel free to include the above in your Sunday announcements.
Again, we will launch with a small offering of programs and grow as “the spirit quickeneth – gives (it) life.” Come grow (the Kingdom) with us!

See you on the web

Sincerely,
      Jim
James M. Knaggs, Commissioner
TERRITORIAL COMMANDER

Mark Cahill's website...

The video is good, but I highly enjoyed his book "one thing you can't do in heaven". I've also been encouraged by his teaching on audio via his website MarkCahill.org. I've also given one of his books to someone on a plane ride after a long talk about faith and Jesus Christ (the book was "one heartbeat away).
