8 Reasons Why I Don't Share My Faith

Hey everyone, I just wanted to have you check out a humorous but oh so real video clip on sharing our faith. You can find it at http://www.wayofthemasterradio.com/ It is called 8 Reasons Why I Don't Share My Faith. Chek it out, have a good laugh, and then go pray and ask God to search your heart and see if there are any excuses holding you back from spreading the "Good News!" So I ask...are you willing to bare the truth and let us in on why at times...you don't share your faith? The phone lines are open!

Way of the Pastor,
Joe

Messed up Mondays

Hey there everyone...it's been hard in the last few weeks to find time to write on the blog! So don't give up! To keep things fresh here at "Way of the Pastor" I have taken the spotlight off of Brian McClaren only and went out and purchased a much bigger spotlight for Mondays. Mondays will now be Messed up Mondays: where I will report individuals who are portraying messed up ideas, doctrine, and other theologies that were dug up out of a cracker jack box! Feel free to email me with any prospects for future "messed up mondays!" Todays spotlight shines in the face of Kenneth Copeland:
Found at www.apprising.org
Finally this blasphemous section must be seen to be believed. Here Copeland explains that he isn’t interested in worshipping God in heaven, but rather he’s looking for fast toys. And while he does seem to be speaking by a spirit, what you are about to read cannot possibly have come from God:
Now, I had a Sunday school teacher one time that told me we’s gon’ spend all eternity bowed down and worshippin’ God. I said, “Well, I don’t think I’m gon’ go.” (laughter from audience) “It’s hard enough here.” Nasty ol’ Sunday school room stunk like floor sweep. Ol’ wore out ol’ floors. I didn’t like that place; I don’t like it now. I wouldn’t go to Sunday school there now.
And thought, “I don’t care nuthin’ about doin’ that.” (more audience laughter) Spend eternity on my knees? Surely there’s more to heaven than that? Well, you know to a ten-year-old boy that’s the way it looked. I thought heaven ought to at least have some fast cars. (audience laughs) Later on I got to readin’ (Copeland chuckles) the Word and I found out about God’s airplane. (quickly whips his head to the right) He gonna have to let me fly that. I-that…the Word said His chariot is as fast a-lightnin’, from the east to the west. That’s the speed of light brother. Son.
I might tell that angel, “Hey Jack, check me out in this thing, man.” (Copeland chortles) Aye-yeah, and if ya’ll don’ mind I’m ‘on git me one of these man. Yeah! And by the time we get there that’ll be old hat for them. Cuz man, we goin’ to the stars. That’s the reason man got such a hard hunger to get out there. We belong out there. This whole thing belongs to us.
It doesn’t belong to the devil; it never has belonged to the devil, and if you’ll quite listenin’ to him you’ll quit stumblin’ over it. Take authority over him. Knock him in the head. Dear Lord. D’you git anything? Let’s praise God for a moment. He’s alive! Glory to God.

Because you thought about asking for more!

Take a Minute and Check This Out...

Hey just wanted to take a break from the daily routine for a while here at Way of the Pastor! I heard a comment about Ray the other day here on a previous post and his style of evangelism...or for you who don't like that word...sharing your faith....and for those of you who think the word faith is too loaded...sharing your lifesong! Now to my knowledge there is no yelling and no "BS" which this method is wrongly labeled as at times. I would say in any witnessing or sharing experience that those should not be practiced...except when your first name starts with Paul Wahser! Ha!

Moving on, I was talking to a pastor friend of mine a couple of months ago and we were discussing methods of sharing one's faith. I told him about the methods practiced in the Bible and about Way of the Master bringing those methods to surface in a day and age that seems to be without them. He told me that those methods don't work anymore and that it wouldn't be effective in today's culture and society. The method I am talking about involves in a loving way and with a loving heart haveing a discussion with someone about the Ten Commandments, Hell, Judgment, and God's love and grace for us! I just know from persoanl experience that this method is most effective for me and my personality. For those out there that are turned off by a method that is more out in the open about certain Biblical topics than your everyday "friendship evengelism" methods...please spend a few moments and watch some of these clips of Kirk and Ray sharing as Jesus shared! Question...who would reach these lost souls if Kirk and Ray would not have been so bold as to carry on a conversation leading them closer to knowing and accepting Jesus Christ? Enjoy!

To the American Church...

Wow, I have never heard such powerful preaching! You have to check this out! Even if you only have a couple of minutes, download this mp3 onto your computer or ipod and hold on. Paul Washer from Heart Cry Missionary Society calls it straight about what it really means to be a follower of Christ.
