Our rent for October is $1400. We are reaching out to some local organizations to see if anyone will help us! So far we make “too much money” to receive help lol. We have crunched the numbers and have now come to the realization that if we can get octobers rent paid, we can make it through the rest of the year to January where James with either get promoted or get a pay increase which will keep us going from that point on!

In the meantime I’m doing doodles for donations! If you want art from me I will draw your character based on your donation amount! If you donate higher I’ll make a nicer quality piece :). I will also bake and ship my baked goods from my home and can make just about anything! With the cooler weather it will be easier to ship goodies!!

My PayPal is [email protected]. If you send anything PLEASE message me for your art or goodies! My husband can also provide artwork! @deviousshadow is opened for commissions!

IN A BAKERY

I’m crying

Are there any worship artists you can recommend? Two I can are Keith Green and Sounds Like Reign.

Sorry, I don't really have any recommendations here. I don't really listen to a lot of Christian music (or music in general). Most of the worship songs we sang in my old church are mostly in my native tongue and are quite old. But I am going to a new church now so I am hearing a lot of songs I haven't heard before.

What is a better way to reach out to the lost world in your opinion? Street evangelism or passing out tracts?

Both are good but I think the approach you should take depends more on the community that you and your church are trying to evangelize. I think a mix of both would be best. Tracts are good. Besides putting the gospel in there, you can also leave a link of your church's website/contact details if they want to connect after. But the problem is that sometimes people don't read them. I can't count how many advertisement flyers I've gotten that I've just tossed into the trash without reading and it's likely that a lot of gospel tracts you hand out won't be read. Face to face evangelism used to be the only way that the gospel could be shared back then. The early Christians didn't really have access to a printing press back then but if they had then I think they would have used it to reach more people. However, I think they're primary evangelism method would still be to preach the gospel to as many ears as possible.

I think you should consider the people in the community that you're trying to reach. Where I live people don't usually stay on the street for long since it's either unbearably hot or rainy where I live so people are often in a rush to get somewhere. Plus, we used to have a high crime rate. People get mugged or pickpocketed on the streets. Some thieves would talk to you while their accomplices try to take your wallet while you're distracted. So getting stopped on the street by a random stranger feels a little uncomfortable for some of us. But here people are really sociable when they're in their "safe" places. We evangelized a local community when I was new to our church. We knocked on doors in pairs and introduced ourselves and mention that we're part of the local church. Some people would reject us and we'd offer to leave a tract for them to read. Some people would let us in and we'd get a chance to preach the gospel. After that, we'd invite them to our church and we would also leave a gospel tract for them just in case there were things that were unclear to them. So my advice is to use both. Don't limit yourself to just one approach. You should probably talk to your pastors and the people in your church about the best approach since every community is a little different.

My faith rests not upon what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is now doing for me.

Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died.

Don't you think Christianity was a lot more simple if there were zero denominations?

Not necessarily. Distinctions give clarity and a stronger sense of unity. The differences between denominations would still exist and we would just have conflict over it. For example, imagine a Presbyterian and a Baptist try to plant a church together. What are they going to teach new converts about baptism? One side has to win over the other.

They can keep butting heads or they can both be obedient to the Great Commission by joining up with people God has provided with a shared vision. God’s work is unified even if His people are separated.

Denominations allow us to function according to our conscience while still loving and embracing people with different convictions. All these things will be answered in eternity and for now we can love and honor people we disagree with but affirm God still uses them.

Higher than we are is he, his mercy higher than our sins, his love higher than our thoughts.

Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Redeemed by the blood of Christ, you are his for ever, and where he is, there must his people be.

Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 (NKJV)
