How many great Evangelists from the present or past can you name? I used to feel that evangelizing meant passing out tracts in the street and witnessing to homeless people. Yes, the homeless need to hear the gospel of Jesus as well as a hot meal and necessities of life but the Bible is clear on what evangelism really means. The 28th Chapter of Matthew verses 19 and 20 are known as the "Great Commission." It states: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-2O, NIV) Hallelujah!
This sounds like a directive to me rather than a request. When I think of modern day evangelist a few names come to mind; Billy Graham, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn... the list goes on and on. As I look at these women and men of God I have to size them up based on the directive of the Bible and see where I can fit in and make a difference. What can you do this year to do more evangelizing? or have you already started? Music for 1/16 {Crown Him With Many Crowns, Just a Closer Walk, WE HAVE 2 NEW PIECES} Leave me a comment. Peace and Blessings.
