]]> Comment on iPhone and the Kingdom of God by bill http://www.creatingmovement.com/2007/06/30/iphone-and-the-kingdom-of-god/#comment-128 bill Sat, 30 Jun 2007 16:55:35 +0000 http://www.creatingmovement.com/2007/06/30/iphone-and-the-kingdom-of-god/#comment-128 I am definitely drooling on the sidelines over this iPhone. But then I read Mike Metzger’s words on this, and it brought me down to earth. He is a fellow from the Clapham Institute. I posted them here: “What might the iPhone undo?” http://provocativechurch.blogspot.com/2007/06/what-iphone-may-undo.html I wish I had written this, it is so tight! I think his thought are a bucket of cold water. I am not saying that after reading his article, that I wouldn’t buy an iPhone, but that I need to ask thoughtful questions about the technology in my life and it's implications before I just rush to embrace it. Tell me what ya think. I am definitely drooling on the sidelines over this iPhone. But then I read Mike Metzger’s words on this, and it brought me down to earth.

I can't help it. Even when I read scripture I often ponder how they might understand what I am reading. When I have time I pray right before I see them, and I ask God to prepare my heart and mind so that I will be able to recognize opportunities and step into them. There is no doubt in my mind that the Spirit plays a huge part in our mission. However, I think some people do not recognize the Spirits leading. Sometimes I am asked, "How do you know if the Spirit is leading and how do you know what he is leading you to do?" My answer is that you need to spend more time reading scripture, especially the Gospels. also spend more time praying. Then you will be able to discern the Spirit's voice. I am not particularly fond of "canned" presentations because they generally do not take into account the situation of the person. I believe the best evangelism training is large amounts of scripture intake, prayer for the lost and accountability. I am very big on praying for my unbelieving friends on a daily basis.

We should not witness to others simply because we are supposed to—we do not share from a feeling of obligation or because of a rule or law—we share because we have the Spirit of God living inside of us. We are compelled to share because we cannot do otherwise. It is upon this base that we are then able to seek the best form, methods, and know the best timing. God is in the process of having a conversation with every person on the planet. This means that only the Spirit can lead us to know exactly where they are in that conversation, so that we can effectively join in. If we are only moved to action because we see the Great Commission as a law we must obey, then the call is nullified because the Spirit is not in it. Also, if we recognize that the Great Commission is a call to action, yet are unmoved by it then again, the call is nothing because the Spirit is not in it. Your post hits the nail on the head. Stay in the word and seek those opportunities to share it. Good stuff.

We'll be spending time with family in WPB July and part of August. Though most of that will be out of town. Then we'll be back off and on until the end of January. We'll definitely work it out though. Pretty good I think. We’ll be spending time with family in WPB July and part of August. Though most of that will be out of town.
