FORMETOKNOWONLY: Brother, I totally get what you are saying. am not surprised either. I am hard-pressed to find what you call a visible church that actually preaches or teaches the Gospel. The true church is in a precarious situation in America these days.

freedomologist: Actually, I'm not surprised any more. Generally speaking, you cannot find the pure gospel very many places. When the goal of a local church becomes one of growth (self preservation) over obedience to it's Master, the "sheep get starved" and "the goats" rush in and take control of the "barnyard". Satan can be very clever and very sublte. While he is evil, he is not stupid. Who would have thought that he would use the "visible church" to try to wipe out the "true church". Hmmm.

FORMETOKNOWONLY: And you would be amazed how many of these "churches" don't preach or teach the "pure" Gospel.

Xiaolian7: Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.

Kerry Wichterich: Would you help me reach truckers in Slidell for the Lord Jesus Christ? I meet with truckers every Sunday @10 am for chapel service at the TA truck stop on Gause Blvd. Some Slidell residents also come to the chapel services held there from time to time.... please pass on my web site ..... >>> w w w . Truck Stop Ministry . com <<< to others && those you know who drive for a living.... thx God Bless....Anathema, Maranatha!

freedomologist: I am in favor of being "missional" as explained here; this is Biblical. The problem that I see is that many church leaders (they should be "Pastors" , not leaders) are confusing the mission of their "missional" church to be something other than making disciples via the preaching of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.

Bethan Theunissen: I love this video and would love to use the video with an adapted voicetrack for my own little congregation. How and where can I get permission from jeffmagu. I don't see an email?

Mark Sellers: That language is so overused and without gospel definition.

Shane Anderson: Another great video!

Elizabeth Donaldson: Invite the lost to Church..Many who have been members for a lifetime do not recognize the need to bring in those lost to meet the Savior.

Mike Keith: I find this interesting. What is presented in this video is the 500 year old Lutheran teaching of Vocation :-)

Jason Duskin: I love the video and I totally get the missional mindset....however I believe a church can be "attractional" and "missional" at the same time. You don't have to sacrifice one for the other....so you I guess you could say "Attrissional" ;-) Love the video!

tristan ganchero: Christians don't embody the church. The church is the BODY OF CHRIST Colossians 1:24. Christians embody CHRIST. Christians do not go out into the community to show others "the church". The BODY (Christians, the Church) goes out and shows others CHRIST.

MutSaiSeunChaai: What is church meant to be anyway? Check out Church: What Was God Thinking? on my channel Mut Sai Seun Chaai

PrinceAgyienim: Soul wining is the greatest work

Hisham Touma: check out NazarethChurches com !!

FaceLikeTheSun: Science presupposes math and logic to be true and therefore to say it proves it would be arguing in a circle. What you determine as "fact and reality" based on scientific evidence still falls under the human interpretation of the data. And when you state "Many Christians want to believe so badly they will ignore scientific evidence, reason..." you are committing the genetic fallacy. The validity of a truth claim is not determined by how one obtains that knowledge.

drew24p: He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16

macoafi: Jesus specifically says in the Bible that his followers will be known by their love for others, that is: by the way they live their lives in the service of others. John 13:35, look it up.

TrumpetCallofGodLT: Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
