Break the cycle!

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who do know history are doome d to watch it being repeated.

It seems like no matter how hard we try in the world we live that our influence has very little impact. I'm afraid that we let this happen in the church today, too. If more in the church would really understand the above thought, then there would be teaching of those who are younger and/or new in the faith. We didn't have enough teaching from some point about spreading the gospel, instead we have been taught how to debate, write articles, and rip our brethren (in other congregations!) who don't agree with us 100% to pieces! When did it become alright to totally ignore the commands of God and change our perspective from looking to the world "to seek and save the lost" to "make him[a new convert] twice as much a child of hell as yourselves."

My uncle (one of our elders) said this last night - "lead, follow, or get out of the way!" If we see something going on that shouldn't, or something that needs to get done that isn't and no one else is stepping up to the plate, then I MUST do something about it. We are ridiculously lacking in evangelism today. We need to look at history and do something about it so that we don't repeat it, nor sit idly by and watch it being repeated!

So, get out there and do something to spread God's message today!

I'm going to be putting together some short articles (one page type things) that we're going to put on one side of a sheet, and a little bit about us (our congregation) on the other side and distribute those to the community. I think I'll try and post the articles here, otherwise, shoot me an email and I'd be happy to send the text your way.
