Traveling
Salvation Show
by Tom Gilbert © 2003
"Preach the gospel
always; when necessary, use words."
St. Francis of Assisi
“So pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes” from Brother
Love’s Traveling Salvation Show by Neil Diamond
Back in the day preachers
would travel to towns, set up a big tent and hold a revival.
Some of these would last for days and people would come
from miles around. Often the Spirit moved. Unfortunately,
hucksters and manipulators also used this method and
hoodwinked believers with sleight of hand and false healings.
The movies “Elmer Gantry” and “Leap
of Faith”, showed the dark side of these traveling
ministry shows.
Despite the false faith healers, it’s not unusual for evangelists to travel
to cities and preach in stadiums for multiple days. These crusades can reach
many thousands in a week and the hope is that the Gospel message will open their
ears and their hearts to God’s love and the message of redemption through Jesus.
Today’s high-tech presentations are not much different from elaborate concert
tours. Truckloads of sound and lighting equipment, music and multimedia presentations
are recipe for extravaganza.

| WHAT'S
NEW & COMING SOON |
|
I've committed to a heavy reading schedule. It's been
great to have all these new books, to soak up
the words and wisdom they contain. But, how do
I keep up with it all? I want to do reviews on
so many good books and sometimes I'm reading
three or four at once.
Pause...reflect...take it one book at a time.
At any rate, there will be some good reading ahead and
look for reviews in the coming months on some books you
might benefit from.
There is not a new God FAQ question
for this issue, but you can see what is already online. Hopefully
you'll find good food for thought.
Some of the new articles on our site include:
F.E.A.R.
The Journey of Journaling

DAILY THOUGHTS & REFLECTIONS |
|
On
the Sidelines or in the Game
This was in accordance with the eternal
purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,
in whom we have boldness and confident access through
faith in Him. (Ephesians 3:11-12)
It is easy to be an expert while
you are watching from the sidelines. It is easy to say, “I
could do that.” It is easy to live your life playing
it safe, making sure you do not mess up. But God would
rather have one person who tries and messes up than
a million who just play it safe.
God wants you to be that one person who tries. Live
your life going for the absolute best He has for you,
and don’t settle for anything less. If you feel
like God is calling you to do something really hard,
don’t sit around figuring out the reasons why
you can’t do it, just get out there and do it.
If you don’t risk anything you won’t accomplish
anything; if you don’t put yourself if the position
of having to depend on God you will never see Him
really work in your life. Don’t play it safe.
Step out and trust Him.
In His grace

Of course, we keep you information confidential.
We also like to share testimonies of answered prayers
at prayer results.
