"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." — Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

| We all like talking about our favorite TV shows, books, movies, or electronic gadgets because these things bring us joy and we want our friends to share in that. Healthy churches produce intense joy and a desire to share that joy with friends. Try to remember a time you heard a joke that was so funny you couldn't wait to share it with friends. Healthy Christian churches produce that same "irresistible urge to share." Sharing the Gospel need not be intimidating — indeed it is the natural result of having something worth sharing. At Morning Star we expect that each of us will experience such joy and wisdom in Christ that we will really want to share it with our friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. The elders will train members to share their faith with others in simple, non-threatening ways, but it really isn't scary. Not when you have something really worth sharing with someone you truly care about. | |||
