Angelaa Echer - Initiative 56 - Equal protection for all children
Background.
What silences the church?
The Cultural war against the Gospel.
2. The Confusion over lifestyle evangelism.
3. The Church’s lack of intentionality.
The Cultural war against the Gospel.
Preaching the Gospel is so unpopular.
The Bible is obsolete they claim.
The animosity against the Gospel.
Against what is traditional.
The gaslighting of our culture by Satan.
The honor of being identified with Jesus.
Instead of being mad, their reaction is they went to the Lord in prayer:
2. The Confusion over lifestyle evangelism.
What some people think is now superior to the Gospel.
“good deeds”
“social justice/action”
examples of favor among the people..
explain..
“Preach the Gospel, if necessary use words.”
- supposedly said by St. Francis of Assisi
Instead St. Francis called for his preachers to “practice what you preach.”
“Preach in season and out of season.”
A combination of vibrant faith and a vibrant sharing of faith is the proper balance.
So long as lifestyle evangelism does not replace the verbal sharing of the gospel, it is a legitimate ministry tool.
show faith in action in a world that needs to see what true Christianity looks like.
But we must preach the Gospel by opening our mouths:
prophecy and proclamation, foretelling and forth telling.
3. The Church’s lack of intentionality.
Fear.
Of persecution and rejection.
The focus of our prayers.
If we analyze this prayer: what was the disciples’ only request?
After they vent everything out to the Lord:
“grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word”.
Miracles followed the preaching of the Gospel.
Miracles confirm the Gospel that is preached, it does not precede it.
Food for thought: Could it be that the reason we are not seeing miracles and demonstration of miracles in the church today is that the Gospel is not really being preached?
This is my conviction.
Renew our zeal for the kerygma - the preached word of God.
Satan will always attempt to stop the spread of the Gospel.
There is persecution.
After they prayed in unity:
