I thought I would share a rather thought provoking video with all of you. A simple yet powerful message on sharing the Gospel. Pastor P

It all comes back to discipleship.
Jesus said, "Go and make disciples".
He didn't say, "Go and get people to pray the sinners prayer and "accept Jesus into their heart""
He also said, "Repent and be saved".
Where is the discipling? The personal, one-on-one, challenging, sometimes not fun, discipleship. Ya know, BIBLICAL discipleship. The kind Jesus and the apostles engaged in.
Sadly, the video over looks one thing, often the children who grow up hearing about Jesus every day grow "immune" to Him.
He's treated like a bracelet or a fashion accessory. He's not the center of their life, their Messiah, their Lord.
He's just an answer to a question in Sunday School.
Their too busy giggling during service and whispering about the latest gossip to hear Him anyway.
There are three of us-in one accord, we work and minister well together and it is like we have known each other for a very long time.
And hey-by the way- this is a site for the three of us to share our thoughts and in no way is meant to be an official representation or voice of our church, Praise Assembly.
In case you did not know or remember-Onesimus was a runaway slave whom the Apostle Paul tried to reconcile to his former owner-Philemon.
More than anything we want to be slaves of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, we also want you to know that the name Onesimus means "useful or profitable". We hope to fulfill our purpose in this name.
