The Godmobile Controversy

Two or three times a year LTC takes our 8x8 trailer (aka the Godmobile) to a Fair nearby where there will be a lot of people for the purpose of sharing the Gospel. Our goal is to merely share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people. Sometimes people make a profession of faith. We do our best to connect them to a church to help them grow spiritually. This would be no different than sharing one on one with a person on a plane or elsewhere. "How will they come to know if someone doesn't preach?" Remember our goal is to merely share the Gospel, we can't help if God was already dealing with them and brings them to salvation. ---This is the part that bugs people (the critics, you know the ones that are doing nothing). They can't understand how a person gets saved in one sitting. Newsflash! We don't understand either. We don't talk people into salvation. In fact, many walk away even with tears in their eyes indicating that God was dealing heavily with them. We've sadly witnessed several people seconds away from accepting Christ (totally locked in) pulled away by friends and family. In 2Tim.4:2 Paul tells Timothy to go and preach. That is all we're doing. We use a two question survey or test to get an idea of the person's spiritual beliefs, and then we simply let God speak to them through the Scriptures. ---We've tried to make the Godmobile look stylish, and not so old-fashioned, but we've not figured that one out yet. Hey, the Gospel is an old message; maybe we'll never figure that out. Bottomline is that we are sharing Jesus. What are you doing? In Acts 17 Paul went out amongst the people (he found a crowd), and shared Jesus. The Scriptures tell us that some believed, some mocked him, and still others said "maybe later." ---Sharing the Gospel will never be easy, because it runs against the grain and schemes of this world. To say that God can't save someone when another person shares the Gospel, well, that is not what the Bible says.
