The following video contains a creative and interesting illustration about evangelism for modern Christians. I definitely believe that it's worth viewing and thinking about as a follower of Christ integrated as a member of society and that it does speak a lot of truth in regard to the current state of the Church and how the Christian community (in general) views evangelism and sharing their faith. I hope that you find it equally as thought provoking, creative, and entertaining.
What do you think of this short video on evangelism?
What thoughts does it bring to mind?
Why is there such a passive and suppressive stigma associated with Christian evangelism and how can we actively work to change it?
At the beginning of the month of June, I posted an article (What Do You Want to be Remembered For?) concerning some thoughts I had in regard to people's passions, and what they are remembered for when they die. In the blog, I urged my readers to consider these key questions:
"What do you want to be remembered for?For being a Packer fan? A state-championship winning athlete?A great Dad and a loving husband?After you've asked yourself that, also consider what you do with your life that will truly have a lasting impact; Something of significance that doesn't fade, tarnish, or decay.We know that the Green Bay Packers have not and will not exist forever,so what do you dedicate your passion to that really matters?"
This is a video that I would like every Christian to take the time to view and consecutively examine the condition of their faith and the effectiveness of their discipleship.
Matthew 28:18-20
"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Recently, this video has created quite a stir with some of my contacts and friends on an extension of my 'Facebook network'. The video was posted by one of my friends who has recently chosen to follow Christ, and to change his life, perspective, and behavior accordingly. Almost instantaneously, the video was challenged as immoral and unethical from many secular viewpoints. Within a week, there was a collection of almost 50 detailed comments concerning the content of the video - Some taking the offensive, and others taking the defensive on many different issues.
"What Guys Think About Modesty" gives some detailed examples concerning how men (specifically, Christian men) are affected by lustful desires for members of the opposite sex and how the way women dress contributes to these thoughts.
For Easter weekend of 2010, Mars Hill Church harnessed their resources and finances in order to produce a 30 minute film depicting the callous betrayal, murder, and burial of Jesus. Just recently, Mars Hill Global has released this film to the public to be utilized as a tool to help us and others more thoroughly understand the brutality of Christ's crucifixion.
"Good Friday" is the most theologically-based modern film that has been produced attempting to show God's bloody sacrifice presented to serve as payment for our sins and shortcomings. It took 3 months to film on sets in Hollywood and finish the production of this movie.
Regardless of your time commitments, please take the time to sit down and watch this film through. It is provided in order that we may more thoroughly understand the brutality of crucifixion and the circumstances surrounding Christ's death. Take some of your spare time to examine the events in this film and to ponder the occurrences from the Last Supper to Christ's burial.
I highly recommend visiting this web page to sign-up or sign-in to a Mars Hill account in order to download and view the full film. (A variety of formats are available, such as HD d.v. and DVD iso)
The following is the first trailer for "Good Friday" produced by the Mars Hill Church media team.

After watching the film, let us know what your reaction to it is:
How did the film help you understand Christ's crucifixion more thoroughly?
What stands out to you as the most important thing to take away from this film?
Life in 6 Words: The GOSPEL communicates the whole story of the Bible in 6 key truths that capture the essence of God and human interaction. In this powerful video, rap artist Propaganda unpacks a simple 6 letter acrostic that spells out the word “GOSPEL” and communicates Jesus’ life-giving message of salvation."(Dare2Share)
