Today is monday.
Steve taught last night and gave a great message on evangelism. Speaking about how Paul used different methods of evangelism when dealing with different people groups. It was very interesting and comforting. Sometimes I think Satan tricks me into being legalistic in my thinking, and I can feel guilty about how I evangelise. Sometimes it feels as if evagelism can't be artistic, creative and beautiful. I guess this is satan's greatest deception. He seeks to wither the beauty of Christ by turning everything about him into a heap of dry and boring information that can only be given to someone else in a very routinized, old fashioned, and out of date manner. When we start to buy into these subtle deceptions, Christ is turned into someone who is lifeless, boring, and not real. It is only when we can experience the life and vibrant energy of Christ that people can see the true emotion that comes from a relationship with him. And this emotion, this passion, is what makes the bible more than words on a page, it is what makes the bible a life changing, powerful book. And this is what we should be bringing to the world.
