THE GREAT COMISSION

[MATTHEW 28:16-20]
"Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said "All authority in heaven and 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 Sprit. And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you and surely I am with you always to the very end of the age."
It seems that many christians have forgotten this passage in the bible. If we all truly believed in what we say we believe, why not boldy go and proclaim the name of Jesus Christ no matter what the venue or the audience? Should witnessing be only left up to youth ministers, pastors, etc.?
Recently, we have been taking heat for playing shows in places such as bars and other non-christian venues... as if we are entering these places, changing our image, and conforming to avoid confrontation. This is certainly not the case. Was it not our LORD who befriended a hooker? Was it not our LORD who healed two blind men who were rebuked and looked down upon by everyone else?[Mattew 9:27-30] Did the LORD only teach the gospel to people who diligently attended church? No!!! If we do not go into these places and tell people about Jesus, who is going to?
Our Savior loves everyone. He has called us to do the same, and that is exactly what we intend to do. If anyone becomes offended by this statement, then we believe we're on our way to accomplishing our goal and getting people out of their comfort zone. Being a Christian in todays world is not always easy. Many times people will despise what we say. That is why we will enter this spiritual battle ready to fight with Jesus Christ by our side!
[Exodus 15:3]
"The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is his name."
Who's ready to go with us?
