Cart ministry is back

Rob Mac wonders when the door to door will return? He wrote this a while back, and went sharing it again. Many Jehovah's Witnesses hate the door to door ministry, although they won't readily admit it. Many Jehovah's Witnesses have developed 'creative' ways of counting their time doing this work, and many strategies for avoiding actually …

Religion and believers #7 Independent and organised form of existence of a religion

When talking about religions we particularly look at the independent and organised form of existence of a religion which one calls 'Church'.

Only once and with consequences

Jesus told his disciples that he will return only once and that when he does, after a time of great tribulation, it will be visible to everyone and be followed by immediate and dire consequences for those unprepared and for those who were adversaries of God.

Making the time ready for Jesus to return

The disciples expected that Christ would "come" as King, with a royal presence, and to remove the Romans and thrown down the corrupt temple, all at the same time and soon! It was a disappointment for them it turned not out that way, but they came to understand we could have an even much better future because of what Jesus had done. Though they also became convinced of the necessity to be prepared for the time that Jesus would return and that each believer could add by his effort of preaching, to bring the time closer.

Evangelizing in the “Time of the End”

All Christians are commissioned and obligated to be evangelizers wherever they are, in that they preach the good news to all sorts of men.​

In all circumstances preaching Christ

These days, there is not much changed concerning opposition against the teachings of Jesus Christ and the preaching of Good News.

From house to house #2: Continuing to bring the good news right to the world

The followers of Jesus were convinced who he was and why his task given to them was so important. They continued bringing without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus, and asked their pupils and converted followers to do so too. Coming closer to the end times it is even more important because the world shall not be interested in God and many brought away from the Only One true God, by false preachers and mega churches.

From house to house #1: Not ceasing to Preach daily in the temple and in every house

Jesus send his disciples forth as sheep in the midst of wolves asking them to go from city to city and from house to house, though they should be warned they would not always be welcome.

Preaching Christ not done to isolate him in the minds of their listeners

In Scriptures people are asked to teach their children diligently and to go out to tell everybody and to reason about the importance of faith in Christ, Jeshua or Jesus Christ being the sent one from and son of God bringing people to God and to salvation..

Making proclamation as a herald

Not many obey the Word of God and even fewer people are prepared to speak about it. Real Christians as followers of Jesus have to follow up the task given by Christ to go out into the world, preaching the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God.

The Most Appropriate teacher and Scoffers in our contemporary age

2000 years ago Jesus spoke about such teachers who think they are the only ones who can explain the Bible. Today people should be aware that it is the Scriptures itself that can explain everything and that it is Jeshua, Jesus Christ, whom we should follow as the most perfect teacher.

Already in the time of Jesus excluding real followers of Christ

It is not just of this present day that real followers of God and of Christ were not liked so much and that church leaders wanted people to have in control and being considered as important persons to be spoken to by their tittle.

When a day of darkness and of gloominess shall come

Coming closer to the Latter days we should know about the necessity to proclaim the Gospel or to go out to preach the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God, even when we may encounter many who would like to do everything to discourage us and to put us in a bad light.

From those preaching the Gospel and Baptism in Jesus name

Always there have been real followers of Jesus who only worshipped his One God, the God of Israel. Many centuries they worked and preached behind closed doors, avoiding persecution and death on the balefire. In fear of the stake for centuries the real followers of God baptised people in their faith, not demanding to be part of one or another church but being part of the Body of Christ.
