Methods and Message




This way of thinking is why most youth pastors (including my-own-self) don't survive in evangelical churches. Whether we can articulate it or not we intuitively understand that the method you use to convey a message IS THE MESSAGE ITSELF. The methods we use to attract people to Jesus do matter because they are the message that people subconciously receive. I might write some more on this later on sometime. 

This is genius stuff.

what?

you mean tracts aren't the preferred method of sharing Christ?

hold on...

isn't it true that buildings bring people to God?

wait...

so you're telling me that passion plays, Bibleman, those cute little fish you put on your car, and Testamints aren't what really bring people to Christ?

my world is shattered...

People as God's chosen method?

what?

i bet that only works when the people have velcro walls...
