 Last Night's Experience: Enjoying the Basics |
Preacher777 |
My wife and I were invited to teach a Bible study at the home of an acquaintance last night. A man in his 40s who probably knows the Bible better than 98% of those attending our churches received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. How great it was to end the night with him raising his hands and praying in tongues!
I want to encourage you to reach out to those who don't attend church and ask if they would be interested in having friends over for a Bible study. I am excited to see that in these crazy times so many people who don't attend church are grateful for a pastor they can trust and relate to on a personal level. Also so many "Nones" good people who have either been hurt or are too smart for the Charismatic foolishness going on around them are hungry for the Word, sound doctrine, prayer and Christian fellowship. We have also integrated several of those who who checked out of church (Nones) who wanted a church that prays, waits for, teaches on and expects the Gifts of the Spirit during services. |

This is one of the most exciting posts I've read all year!
Actually has challenged me to look at our outreach ministry to see if we can accomplish some of this as well.
The part about him speaking in tongues really got me 
Bless you Preacher777
