In this video I want to explain why I think the way the church is going about evangelism at the moment is not helping and in fact even hinders the gospel. I think we need to stop evangelising and start doing discipleship instead.
This video was posted to Understand the Bible, but I think it’s important enough to repost here. If you’d prefer to read a transcript you can read it on that page.
I’ve written a book! It’s a Christian book – here’s the blurb:
Many people are confused by grace.
For example, have you ever considered questions like these:
- Why should we obey God if he forgives us anyway?
- Do Christians need to obey the Ten Commandments?
- What does it mean to have freedom as a Christian?
This book will help you to answer these questions and put the pieces of the Christian life together. You will discover how God wants us to obey him. It’s not a matter of obeying the law in our own strength. Instead, we need to love through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I’m going to be doing a video about it in the next few days, which you will be able to see on Understand the Bible, but you can buy it now from Amazon (Kindle or paperback editions available).
I’ve previously mentioned my new project, Understand the Bible. I have been working hard on this for the past few months, and I am pleased to announce that I’ve just launched the new Understand the Bible discipleship programme, which is available on the website.
“Discipleship” is a word which simply means, learning to be a disciple – a follower – of Jesus Christ. For a while now I’ve wanted to make the videos I’ve been creating more accessible. This is the first step. Next step: creating a mobile app. All in good time…
In the meantime, the discipleship programme is functional, and I’d appreciate it if you’d give it a go and let me know thoughts – good / bad / suggestions etc. Knock yourself out!
