The Problem with Outreach IS Outreach

The very use of the word “Outreach” (the act or process of reaching out) implies one thing: we are IN something. You can’t reach OUT of something, unless you are IN something.

Think about this:Why do we struggle with outreach? Why do we stand divided over methods of outreach? Why do we print publications with outreach methods? Because somewhere along the line we have shifted or moved IN to something that we now are struggling or feeling compelled to reach OUT of. Perhaps our focus has been on going to church, rather than being the Church. When “the Church” is a building or a place, rather than “you and me,” we are forced to create or delegate outreach. On the contrary, when we view ourselves as the Church, we realize that outreach, as we traditionally refer to it, is not a program, but rather our life. “Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, ‘This Man receives sinners and eats with them.’”— (Luke 15:1-2 NKJV)

Notice Jesus is living his life with the lost in mind. The Pharisees and scribes were focused on other things. They were IN something that Jesus was OUT of. This was not an outreach dinner. This was not a program. This was Jesus in real life setting the example for us on the priority of the lost. Jesus responds with three powerful parables, focusing on the priority of the lost. Notice his mindset: “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?”— (Luke 15:8 NKJV)

#1. Awareness (light a lamp).

For too long we have forgotten the principle of all things lost. We all, at one time or another, were lost (Romans 3:23). Oh, but how easy it is to forget about the lost! We need the Holy Spirit to shine the light of his truth into our hearts so that we become aware of the lost. They are all around us, just turn the light on.

#2. Get Dirty (sweep the house).

Something tells me this lady, sweeping the floor of her home, created quite the mess. Notice her willingness to get dirty and stir up some dust to find what was lost! I’m not suggesting to partake in the sin to reach the sinner; I’m just saying, don’t be afraid to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty. Leave the ninety-nine and reach the one.

#3. Diligence (search carefully).

We’ve lost our stamina in reaching the lost. Excuse the pun, but when it comes to “the lost,” no one is a “lost cause.” Who is it that you have written off that you need to diligently pursue? Maybe that foul-mouthed neighbor is your next deacon? Or maybe he is your deacon? No, I’m kidding! But you get the point: SEARCH DILIGENTLY!

A few weeks ago our family went shopping. With three young children, our trips to the mall are not for the faint of heart! My wife and I smiled as we watched our children innocently play a game of “tag” among the racks of clothing. In a split second the situation changed when our youngest daughter disappeared. We stopped everything and focused on one thing. We did things you don’t traditionally do in a store. We SHOUTED, RAN, PUSHED and SHOVED frantically searching for our daughter. At that moment, nothing else mattered but our child who was lost.

As a father, I’ll never forget that moment. Today, may outreach never become delegated to a person or program, but rather the life we live in pursuit of the lost.

To me, that is relevant.

Different Strokes

By Wayman Ming, Jr.
Different strokes for different folks! Have you ever heard that saying before? If so, you know that it is often used to describe the reality that everyone is different. What liberating and freeing fact! We didn’t all come off of an assembly line looking and acting the same. We are God’s custom design.

What image comes to mind when you think of the word “evangelism?” Does it evoke enthusiasm for reaching your friends and family members? Or does it overwhelm you with negative connotations? The stereotypical street preacher, megaphone in hand, blaring and bellowing out indictments about the end of the world? Or the “never say no” Mormon at your front door seeking to proselyte you?

The enemy of our soul has literally hindered the expansion of God’s kingdom because we haven’t realized that evangelism is not built upon a “megaphone in hand,” but a commitment to strategically being ourselves in evangelism.

Simon Peter used a “confrontational” approach.

On the Day of Pentecost he proclaimed the gospel with such boldness that he confronted his own people with crucifying the Messiah! He reached 3,000 for the Lord in one day. Some people in our world today won’t come to Christ until someone like Peter confronts them with the gospel.

The Apostle Paul used an “intellectual” approach.

Read any of his letters in the Bible, especially Romans, and you will see that he was a master at laying out a sound explanation concerning the truths of God. He was a master at crafting a road to Christ. In our educated society today, some people need to hear the gospel not only declared, but defined and defended.

The blind man used a “testimonial” approach.

The blind man was effective just like Peter and Paul; yet, he refused confrontation like Peter and intellectualism like Paul. He simply spoke from experience and said, “One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see.” How many people will come to Christ simply because someone is able to say, “I don’t understand a lot of things, but one thing I do know; I once was blind, but now I see.” They don’t need confrontation or debate; they simply need a testimony.

The Samaritan woman used an “invitational” approach.

When she experienced Christ, she immediately went to her town, loaded up her van, and brought a bunch of people to hear Jesus for themselves. Her simple invitation brought salvation to her city. How many people in America would experience Christ if someone would just go to the special effort of inviting them to a credible life-giving church or outreach event?

Dorcas used a “service” approach.

She was constantly performing loving acts of service to those who were in need in her community. In fact, her work was so special to God that when she died a premature death, God sent confrontational Peter to raise her from the dead and put her back into the evangelistic ministry. Although the service approach to evangelism tends to get less press than the others and is often longer in producing fruit, it is one of the most important of all evangelistic approaches. Dorcas is able to reach people that nobody else can reach.

Friend, your greatest asset in the kingdom of God is to strategically be yourself! You may preach it from the housetops like Peter. Or define and direct people into the Kingdom like Paul. Or draw people to the feet of the Master with your kindness and generosity like Dorcas. Or perhaps…you may simply reach people in your own unique way like none of the above. Remember, when it comes to evangelism, there are “different strokes for different folks”!

Refurbish the Upper Room?

“There is evidence of considerable change in Christendom’s ‘upper room,’ that is, the Pentecostal movement, which has traditionally emphasized the infilling of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts 2. Many old fixtures are being discarded as new ones take their places. Further restructuring of the Pentecostal chamber is also being contemplated in the wake of the charismatic revival of recent years.”

These words may come as somewhat of a surprise to many of you who have walked the dusty roads of America’s recent past, preaching a Gospel of transforming, enabling power – Pentecostal power! They keynote an article appearing in the April 1, 1966, issue of Christianity Today. Written by James S. Tinney, the article is entitled, “NEWS: Special Report – Pentecostals refurbish the Upper Room.”

The article quotes the alleged statements of certain executives of leading Pentecostal organizations, either completely out of context, thus becoming of the most tragic examples of subjective reporting to appear in Christian publication, or the article points up a dangerous trend in Pentecost which must be carefully and prayerfully evaluated in the light of the Word of God.

Perhaps, before we consider the article, it would be profitable to remind ourselves that the Bible, because it IS the Word of God, does not change! Any attempt to modernize it to suit any proud and decadent segment of progressing Christendom would be as futile as the vain attempt to erase a sunset simply by drawing the shade, or to empty the ocean with a teacup!

The first are of “change” in Pentecost’s “Upper Room” is the desire to eliminate the emotionalism, which has been a part of the Pentecostal pattern since the beginning.

Four Yale University students are reported to “represent an emerging new Pentecostalism that has little in common with the Holy Roller image. Today, gymnastics in the pews and lusty Gospel music are confined largely to rural congregations and ten revivals. And a new generation of Pentecostals wants to keep them there, if they have to be kept at all.” The report continues: “A recent article in the official journal of the largest Pentecostal denomination urges that leaders today ‘remain ever alert to the dangers of such worked-up excitement’.”

It would be infinitely more impossible to “fall in love with Jesus” through a genuine experience of salvation, or to “adventure with Him” in the power of the Holy Spirit, and remain emotionally unmoved, than it would be to fall in love with one’s life partner and continue in stoic silence.

Who could read the account of that first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, as recorded in Acts 2, when accusations were flying from religious adherents, “These men are drunk!” without realizing there were some serious emotional affectation? Not one of the Pentecostal believers condemned these emotional expressions as “fevered exhibitionism,” but humbly acknowledged them as both reasonable and proper. It is note strange that many preachers become more emotionally stirred in a Civil Rights rally than in a religious service? The real truth is that they are not really in vital contact with things spiritual. They have a religion of the head, but not the heart. In an acquiescent sort of way, they have subscribed to the tenets of faith of some religious body, but have never known the transforming power of the living Lord!

Often it depends upon who is emotional. Some groups are quick to label emotional manifestation among themselves as “evidence of spiritual depth and devotion, but find it convenient to brand as “wild fire and fevered exhibitionism” any similar experience in another.

The article further states: “The changes are partly the result of a more educated clergy.”

I am not acquainted with the four Yale students mentioned, but I do not hesitate to state that one could have doctorates – earned, if you please – from Yale or any other secular college, or from many of our church-related institutions, and be as ignorant of the true interpretation of God’s Word as a Hottentot of Africa!

Some time ago, I listened to the representative of a Full Gospel Bible college as he advertised for students. “This is a ‘middle-of-the-road’ college. It is neither rigid denominationalism nor radical Pentecostalism. It is middle-of-the-road.” I weighed those words carefully.

The only explanation, from a Biblical standpoint, is that the school is neither hot nor cold – and the Lord had a word for this condition in the Revelation, Chapter 3, Verses 15 and 16. On the other hand, it could mean the school would be equally at home in the church or the world – that the fountain could bring forth both bitter water and sweet, and, if convenient, both God and mammon could be served without offense to either. Of course, we know this to be Biblically impossible.

This school did not so begin. I have personally attended services in the parent church sponsoring that power of God, when they were stretched out in the aisles until movement was virtually impossible. It was a thrilling sight, and I observed nothing but a wholesome, “decent and in order” atmosphere in this emotional outburst.

But the church has evidently decided to “refurbish the upper room.” And what are the results? I recently attended a mid-week service, a regular evening service, and sat among worshippers numbering only sixty, by actual count, where hundreds had previously jammed the auditorium in a similar service.

How different the account of our Pentecostal Church of God colleges!

Call it “radical Pentecostalism” if you will, but if it fills our churches with devoted communicants, not dead corpses; if it produces holy lives, and hearts whose only desire is to glorify God and worship in His house; if it produces workers and missionaries and builders for God – and it does! – Then I want to go on record as supporting it!

If this is fanaticism that sent our preachers into new areas of labor, without sufficient food, without adequate transportation, without change of clothes, with shoes worn out, and established churches amid flying rotten tomatoes and eggs, amid jeers and scoffs – that caused the Pentecostal message to be winged around the world – then I want it!

By “refurbishing” we apparently mean we should be more interested in status symbols than in spiritual stability; two Cadillac’s in every carport, two boats in every family, and the latest, two Christmas trees in every home. If status symbols become necessary in our sophisticated society, for the Christian they should be “prayer bags” in the knees of our trousers, rather than money bags in our pockets; worn leaves in our study Bibles, rather than volumes of best sellers in our libraries; heaven’s sunshine on our countenances, rather than degrees of distinctions hanging on our walls which money may secure or men may confer.

If “refurbishing” means, by education alone, we have now come to know more than God, in pride we are now discarding clearly-stated Biblical principles in an attempt to write our own bible, then count me out.

Secular education without spiritual edification would attempt to teach us as Pentecostals…

• How to remain a Pentecostal without retaining the “Holy Roller image”…
• How to court ecclesiastical favor without compromising evangelistic fervor…
• How to believe in the miraculous without believing for miracles…
• How to join hands with the worldly crowd without judging their worldly ways…
• How to deaden our spiritual sensitivities without completely denying our Lord…
• How to dissipate the opposition without destroying it…
• How to win over the enemy without wounding him…
• How to borrow the heathen ideologies without burning the heathen idols…
• How to pamper and protect the “Pentecostal” weaklings and world-lings while attempting to project the Pentecostal witness…

THIS CANNOT BE DONE!

Wisdom and knowledge must be set on fire by the Holy Ghost if it is to serve us, and settle us in Christ, rather than sever us from Him!

Another program of “refurbishing” is attributed to the leader of a large Pentecostal organization: “The Pentecostal experience, contrary to much of the publicity, does not center around ‘speaking in tongues,’ more formally identified as glossolalia, but in the belief that the infilling of the Holy Ghost should follow conversion.”

If this statement is not misquoted, or taken completely out of context (and knowing, as I do, the person who is reported to have made the alleged statement, I have every reason to believe it was!), then Pentecost, as the founders of his denomination knew it, has most certainly undergone the “refurbishing” process already. Such a statement could only mean that a person might receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost without speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. If this could be true – AND IT POSITIVELY IS NOT! – and any spiritual mountain top, so long as it “follows conversion,” could be considered the infilling of the Holy Ghost, then the Pentecostal upper room has experienced some radical changes.

If “refurbishing” means we are now to take “Zedekiah’s pin knife” and shred Biblical passages from the sacred Canon of Scripture in order to be accepted in a changing society, thereby denying certain clear passages setting forth the historic Bible pattern for receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost; if “refurbishing” means we are to become tomb stones instead of lively stones, then I, for one, wish to state emphatically that I will resist this process with every power available to me!

If “refurbishing” means, by the construction of our new church edifices, we suddenly find ourselves surrounded by multitudes that feel their temple too modern and their members too sophisticated for the God of true Pentecost, then please mark me as a dissenter.

The article mentions still another detour from the plain path of Pentecost: “Extremely narrow legalism is on the way out. For years tongues-groups believed the observances of certain prohibitions to be a sign of holiness.”

Apparently, this “refurbishing” means we are now to take to our lives certain worldly practices in the present mad rush toward world-conformity – rather than daring to be different – and abdicate our Scripture-taught faith in a life of holiness and separation. Have we forgotten that God said: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord God Almighty,” II Corinthians 6:17,18?

The Pentecostal Church of God of America will not become apart of this “refurbishing” process. We are Christ-honoring, Spirit-led, Bible-believing Christians. We do not sell “sacred sawdust,” or blessed “anointing oil,” or scraps of soiled undershirts of some evangelist. We do not believe in the purely human impartation of spiritual gifts by some self-styled prophet. We do not believe that everyone who takes an aspirin is eternally doomed – though we strongly hold that God’s ultimate best is that we trust Him completely. But WE DO attempt to “contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3), to cling to the “old paths, where is the good way” (Jeremiah 6:16), to “obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29), and to “stand fast in the liberty where with Christ made us free” (Romans 1:4), it seems we do well to yield to that same spirit.

Need I remind you that God will NEVER encourage you to be less dedicated, less Christ-like in your separation from the world, less heavenly-minded than you presently are. So, when anyone tells you it is not necessary to be so narrow or legalistic, please remember that word does not originate with God!

Finally, the article indicates this “refurbishing” is, in a large measure, due to the cooperation with other non-Pentecostal bodies of believers.

The watchword of the National Association of Evangelicals, with which this Movement is affiliates, has ever been: “Cooperation without compromise.” Always is constituent members have believed in fellowship with all Christian believers without forfeiture of the doctrinal distinctive of any!

Now, if “refurbishing” our Pentecostal upper rooms means, by association with others, we must compromise our convictions, desert our dedication, deny our distinctive, drop our devotion, and, possibly, sacrifice our salvation, then better we go it alone in a world where fellowship is so obviously important and earnestly desired. BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARY!

By remaining the Pentecostals we are, we can enjoy our experiences, believe our Bibles, exploit our educational advantages, and appreciate our association with all true believers. But we must remain men and women of high purpose and solid resolution, refusing to bend or bow to pressures, both within and without, and refusing to settle for a religion of expedience rather than experience!

I DO NOT FEEL THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OF GOD OF AMERICA IS READY TO “REFURBISH” ITS “UPPER ROOM!” We will continue to resist the deadly, destroying influences at work to muffle the true Pentecostal witness in this hour of crisis!

Celebrating Pentecost as a Family

Did you know that the feast of Pentecost is often referred to as “the Birthday of the Church”? It is called that, because Pentecost is when the disciples went out among the people and began spreading Jesus’ message, thus establishing the beginning of the Church.

Pentecost, Greek for “50^th day”, is celebrated by Christians 50 days after Easter and marks the day the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples while they were shut in and praying in an upper room following Jesus’ resurrection. After receiving the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit, the disciples immediately went out and preached Jesus’ message to everyone – even those who spoke other languages.

Pentecost was originally a Jewish feast that concluded the 50 days of Passover-- celebrating the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest. The Jewish people at Pentecost also celebrated the giving of the Laws to Moses at Mt. Sinai.

Symbols of Pentecost

The symbols of Pentecost are wind, fire, and a dove. Wind is taken from the noise the disciples heard as the Spirit descended upon them (Acts 2:2). After the disciples heard wind, flames appeared and rested upon the heads of each of the disciples (Acts 2:3). A dove serves as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. There is no mention of a dove in Acts, but we associate a dove with the Holy Spirit because of the story about Jesus’ baptism: “After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened [for him], and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon him” (Matthew 3:16).

Celebrating Pentecost

Pentecost is probably one of the most important days on the Church calendar, but it is often overlooked. Here are some ways your family can celebrate the day of Pentecost.

1. Because Pentecost is the birthday of the Church, celebrate it just as you would any other birthday in you home—break out the cake and ice cream. Rather than singing “Happy Birthday”, recite a prayer for Pentecost, such as: “Father in heaven, 50 days have celebrated the fullness of the mystery of Your revealed love. See Your people gather n prayer, open to receive the Spirit’s flame. May it come to rest in our hearts and disperse the divisions of word and tongue. With one voice and one song may we praise Your name in joy and thanksgiving. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
   
   
2. Wear something red. The color of the vestments worn by priests on Pentecost is red, to symbolize the love of the Holy Spirit and the tongues of fire that appeared over the heads of the disciples on Pentecost. Don’t just stop at wearing red. Use a red tablecloth for dinner, eat off red paper plates, eat red foods, etc. See how many ways you can incorporate the color red in you celebration.
   
   
3. Read aloud the story of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts.

For Kids: Let’s Go Fly a Kite

As mentioned, wind is one of the symbols of Pentecost. So what better way to experience the wind than to fly a kite? You can buy one or make your own with instructions from a book or off the Internet. Or, if you would rather tackle a smaller project, make a pinwheel and watch what the wind does. Again, you can find instructions for how to make pinwheels in books at the library, in magazines, or on the Internet.

If you make your own kite or pinwheel, decorate it with the symbols of Pentecost, such as red flames or a dove. You can draw these, make them with construction paper, or cut pictures out of magazines and glue them on.

Charting the Course: Cry for the Power and the Glory of God

By Charles Scott
My recent prayer times have focused on calling out to God for a renewal of the power and glory of God upon the PCG. It is my sincere interpretation of Scripture that experiencing the power and the glory of God are results of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus points to the power of God giving these specific directions to the disciples, “But tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24:49) In John 16:14, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would glorify Him, “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.”

I see three main areas where we must lead the PCG in the work of the Holy Spirit:

1. Every believer should experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
2. Every aspect of the ministry life of each PCG congregation should be led by the Holy Spirit.
3. Every area of life of every credentialed PCG minister should be anointed with the Spirit.

I ask that you join with me in prayer for eight specific results of the power and glory of God through the work of the Holy Spirit in the Pentecostal Church of God:

1. Power to witness
2. Glorification of Christ
3. Supernatural evidence
4. Spirit-led prayer
5. Biblical understanding
6. Divine guidance
7. Physical health
8. Expressions of God’s love

The Day of Pentecost changed everything—and a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit will change us today.

Tim Tebow, Jason Collins, and Barney Fife.

This popular post has generated quite a buzz online and sums up the week greatly:

Tim Tebow: “I’m a Christian.”

Media: “Keep it to yourself.”

Jason Collins: “I’m gay.”

Media: “This man’s a hero!”

On Monday, April 29^th, NBA player Jason Collins came out publicly as the first active player in one of the four major American professional team sports to announce that he is gay. His announcement was followed by waves of support from the likes of NBA commissioner David Stern to a personal phone call from the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. Obama called to express his support and commend him for his courage to stand up. The media coverage on this “coming out” has literally been remarkable.

Many have jumped to point out the very obvious “double standard” that is prevalent in our society today. For example (as previously stated) when a believer in professional sports such as Tim Tebow “comes out” with their personal beliefs, or stands up for their faith, the media doesn’t want to hear about it. Not only do they not want to hear about it, but they put forth as much effort as possible to look for ways to trash the individual. For example when ESPN writer Chris Broussard was asked what his opinion was on the matter, he replied,

“I'm a Christian. I don't agree with homosexuality," Broussard said. “I think it's a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is.

“If you're openly living in unrepentant sin”—speaking again of homosexual practice, not simply being gay—“that’s walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ.”

The result? Many have called for Broussard’s head so to speak, demanding an apology and calling for his firing.

So we have a double standard, this is obvious, but as I was thinking about this morning I had the following thoughts that I would like to share…

1. Why is this a surprise?

Why does this seemingly double standard surprise us? Why does it seem odd to us that Christians are treated differently in the media and in public viewpoints?

Christ said, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake ” (Matthew 10). It doesn’t get more plain that that, but I will admit it is a hard pill to swallow, especially as an American were we traditionally have been treated with such gracious religious freedoms (unlike the majority of the rest of the world).

Hatred, misunderstanding, miss-representation, lies, on and on should NOT come as a surprise to us as believers, especially when we take a stand for what we believe.

“The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. ” -Jesus

2. Guard your heart.

Please don’t miss understand me. I believe we should take a stand for our religious freedoms in America. I believe that we must fight for our liberties and be on guard when we feel like they are being threatened. However as I was pondering on this current episode this week, the Holy Spirit whispered to me, “Don’t take on the ‘us against them’ mentality and allow your heart to become hard.” In the most gentle way, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the words of Paul to Timothy, “ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.”

You see our natural tendency in all of this is to take on the “us against them” mentality. Feeling like we are backed in a corner, we then feel the need to come out guns a-blazing ready to furiously fight for what we believe in. However we must be careful to not let our hearts become hard! If we do our message will lose its meaning.

When we face hatred and persecution, may our prayer be, “callous my knees and not my heart”.

If we allow the hatred and double standards we see to harden our hearts and cause us to become resentful towards people that Christ died for, then shame on us.

It’s ok to feel upset and desire to express ones passion, but remember “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

3. The Reality.

As Christians, we now must come to grips with the world we are living in. I have to realize that the world & society that I grew up in (not too long ago) is not the same as the one my 4 children are growing up in today.

I grew up 50 miles from a little town called Mt. Airy, NC, perhaps you know it by it commonly referred to name: “Mayberry”. Andy and Barney were some of my childhood heroes. However those day are long gone, and no matter how much “I miss Mayberry”…it isn’t coming back. Parents used to sweat the “birds and the bees” talk, however now we are faced with so much more.

WE CANNOT KEEP OUR HEAD IN THE SAND.

From the boy-scouts to now basketball the homosexual agenda is upon us, and we have to be prepared (at the right time) to have discussions with our children and prepare them for the realities of the world we live in.

Thank God we don’t have to face these challenges in the world alone!
