So yesterday I was pointing out what looked like an attempt by the Methodist church to "re-think" church by avoiding the gospel. A friend sent me a video which adds further weight to my evaluation of the re-think campaign and I assume all Bible/gospel lovers will find it quite terrible from a content standpoint. This may be hard to believe, but the last blog post I wrote prior to taking up this re-think church topic was called "A High Five from the Devil", which was about what we get for rejecting God, ironically this video is called of all things, A High Five for the Local Church!
I invite you to watch the video and evaluate it based for how focused it is on the work the church is called to do, after being reminded what the church is supposed to be doing from God's word:
Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
2 Cor. 5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that
is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not
imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of
reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Now that you have been reminded of the church's mission, here is a link to the video- A High Five for the Local Church
A high five from who?
