Teaching about Jesus

This last week I was talking to a friend who is the pastor of a small church. God had put it on his heart to open a small shop in the business he used to be in. Not understanding exactly why, but trusting the Spirit, he found a small main street store front and build his business part time.
It was very soon apparent what this little shop was to accomplish.

God wants every person on this earth to live with Him in eternity, however, there are so many people who do not attend services, never have gone to church, are afraid of what they may have to do, not do, or change in his or her life. God wants us to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations," (Matthew 28:19) But how can we if we can not get them into the church? Reach them on their own terms.

My friend answered a call from God to go into the ministry, he then answered another call to open his ministry beyond the church. The store front enabled my friend to talk to people who have not learned about Jesus. He answered a call to go out into the public and introduce them to the Christian life without any expectations or obligations. They came in the store and they can walk out at any time. No threat, no obligation, but how are they going to know if we do not tell them?


The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
“How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. (Acts 8:29-31 (New International Version))

They said the world will end on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at (6:00pm?) and that it is promised by the bible.


“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)
