THE PASTORS MESSAGE

BY PASTOR REY TAYAG

(714) 262-2091 http://www.lcfnoc.co.cc/

Its a real challenge to reach our culture today. When I present the gospel todayespecially to young peopleI can no longer assume that they understand what I mean when I say something along the lines of, You need to repent of your sin and put your faith in Jesus and become His disciple! They might wonder what it means to repent, or even what sin is. Our challenge as believers in reaching this post-modern generation is to make sense without compromising our message. By the way, I think way too much is made of the whole modern/post-modern generational issue. There are some valid things to know about each group, but lets not forget that the essential gospel message does not change. The gospel that the apostles delivered in the first century still resonates with the twenty-first century. But we still need to adapt and become, as Paul said, all things to all men. Paul said: I have become a servant of everyone so that I can bring them to Christ. When I am with the Jews, I became one of them so that I can bring them to Christ. When I am with the Gentiles who do not have the Jewish law, I fit in with them as much as I can. In this way I gain their confidence and bring them to Christ. Yes , I try to find common ground with everyone so that I might bring them to Christ. (1 Corinthians 9:19-23) Note that Paul says, I fit in with them as much as I can. There is a place to draw the line when you are around nonbelievers. We want to be careful to try to influence them more than they are influencing us.

Jesus answered, I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, You must be born again. 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. John 3:5-8
