What Changes??? #2

When we talk about changes we need to understand that it is not a blanket that will fit every bed. One size will not fit all. what we should want to achieve is Church growth for all of the Lords churches. That is what it is all about, isnt it? If it will cause trouble in your Church do not attempt it. before any change can come the Pastor must sign on for the longhaul. He must be convicted by God that change is needed in His Church, and must be willing to learn from the scriptures what needs to be done. One thing that will work universaly is "relationship evangelism" Most Missionaries use this whether they call it by the same name or not. It consists of meeting new people, gaining their friendship and trust, then bring them to the saveing knoledge of Jesus christ. If you do it this way 95% of them will follow in Baptism. There is one thing you can count on, if there is not a friendly and loving atmosphere in the Church, and they do not feal comfortable they will not stay very long. We will address that in the next post. What do you think? Marlin Freeman
