EVANGELISM
By
Mark Posey
The
Institute for American Church Growth asked over 10,000 people this
question: “What was responsible for your coming to Christ and this
church?” They replied as follows…
I had a special need -3%
I just walked in -3%
I liked the minister -6%
I visited there -1%
I liked the Bible classes -5 %
I attended a gospel meeting -0.5%
I liked the programs -3%
A FRIEND OR RELATIVE INVITED ME-79%
“Go ye” means, “Go me.” Evangelism that is most productive is PERSONAL evangelism. It is seeing the soul as the most important thing in the world and targeting those with whom we come in contact each day. In this evangelism becomes PURPOSEFUL. We can target the entire world, but we must proceed one soul at a time. Read the following passages: Philippians 2:19-24; 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10.

(Ed.
Note: The article above should give every Christian cause to reflect
on his personal responsibility in spreading the gospel of Jesus
Christ. That responsibility is clearly set forth in the commission of
the Lord: Matthew
28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Amen. One
will immediately note that the disciples/apostles to whom the
commission was given were commanded to teach those who were baptized
to observe what he had commanded them, the apostles. And what was
that commandment? Go! Teach! Baptize! It appears, then, that the
Lord expects every Christian to be an evangelist—to the extent of
his ability and opportunity (2 Cor. 8:11-12). ACQ).
