It is vital we have friends in our lives that will do anything in their power to get people to Jesus. And even more importantly, it is essential that we are this type of friend. facebook.com/PatrickRLewisLordsbook.com/[email protected] Storefront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsODonatePaypal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRaVenmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewis

The Michael Tait apology is out and I have some views on it that will probably surprise many of you. Firstly, it's essential to acknowledge how the tone of the apology reflects a genuine attempt at understanding and growth. Michael Tait's words seemed carefully chosen to convey sincerity and a willingness to address past mistakes. This is not always easy, especially in the public eye, and it deserves recognition.However, what might surprise some is my belief that this apology could signify a broader shift in how public figures approach accountability. Rather than the usual scripted responses, Tait's statement seemed to break away from mere damage control tactics, aiming instead for a deeper connection with those affected by his actions.Moreover, the apology could serve as a learning moment for others in similar positions. By taking responsibility and showing a commitment to change, public figures can foster a culture of empathy and forgiveness. This could potentially lead to more authentic dialogues and healing in our communities.Finally, it's crucial to remain vigilant and see if words are met with consistent actions. Apologies are just the beginning; true change is demonstrated over time. Thus, while this might be a surprising perspective, it’s one that holds hope for positive transformation and the power of genuine accountability.#michaeltait #ChristianLedership #PublicApology #TrueRepentance

All ministry leaders need to recognize that transparency in all facets of leadership is essential for fostering trust among both your supporters and the individuals you are serving.Openness in communication, decision-making processes, and financial matters can help build a foundation of credibility. When people feel informed and included, they are more likely to engage and contribute positively to the ministry's mission. Moreover, being transparent about challenges and setbacks allows for collective problem-solving and strengthens the ministry’s resilience. Leaders who prioritize transparency set an example for others, encouraging a culture where honesty and integrity are valued and upheld. In this way, ministries can achieve their goals.https://www.facebook.com/PatrickRLewishttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbible#SeanFeucht#FinancialMismanagement#MinistryFinances#BiblicalAccountability

It's crucial to remember that our primary focus should be on living a true Bible centered and based life. This often means making difficult decisions, especially when faced with troubling situations involving public figures.While it is natural to want to protect those we look up to, especially when they have inspired us through their work or public persona, it is important to prioritize truth and accountability.A Bible-centered life encourages honesty and transparency. Facing the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, is a step towards integrity.While allegations and controversies can be challenging to navigate, they offer an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to living a life guided by God’s Word.https://www.facebook.com/PatrickRLewishttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbible#MichaelTait#Newsboys#MinistryFailure#FailedWitness#BibleCenteredLife

Two recent stories underscored the significance of genuine ministry leadership in all aspects of our lives. We must diligently adhere to the four steps of church discipline, as outlined in Matthew 18:15-17. These steps are:1) Address the sinning believer privately.2) Gather witnesses.3) Present the matter to the church.4) Treat them as outsiders if they remain unrepentant.This process aims to restore the individual, safeguard the church, and uphold the reputation of Christ.https://www.facebook.com/PatrickRLewishttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbible#MichaelTait #Newsboys #MinistryFailure #FailedWitness

It is important for us as Christians to remember as society continues to lose the ability to have actual meaningful conversations face to face, our challenge to spread the Gospel becomes more daunting. 

The decisions we make without God's guidance will have a profound impact on all around us

God is not concerned with how we sound when we praise Him in spreading the Gospel, He simply wants us to speak up loudly in His Name.

Jesus intended for his disciples to spread his message and ministry, ultimately conquering the world through the Church. This conquest, though challenging and involving persecution, was certain due to the indestructible truth of Jesus’ identity as the Son of God. The success of this mission depended on the faithfulness of the disciples to reproduce and teach others, emphasizing the importance of leadership and spiritual shepherds in guiding the lost to salvation.The effectiveness of evangelism is measured by its perpetuation in the next generation, not just immediate results. The early Church demonstrated the success of Jesus’ plan for world conquest through leadership development and reproduction. Today, the Church needs better men, not better methods, to fulfill its mission and reach the world.A plan for discipleship involves small group meetings for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. These groups, led by trained individuals, can grow and spread the faith through outreach and follow-up with new Christians. The goal is to equip these disciples with the knowledge and spiritual maturity to lead their own ministries, ensuring a lasting impact for generations to come.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus’ ministry strategy involved sending disciples on field assignments, reviewing their experiences, and using these experiences to teach practical lessons. This approach is evident in the disciples’ reports after evangelistic tours, where Jesus celebrated their successes and cautioned against pride. Jesus also used incidents like the disciples’ failed healing attempt and the feeding of the multitudes to teach about faith, prayer, and spiritual discernment.Jesus constantly supervised his disciples, correcting their attitudes and actions towards others in the work. He emphasized the importance of not discouraging sincere efforts and highlighted the need for patience and determination in training evangelists. The goal is world conquest, not just localized success, and continuous supervision is crucial for the growth and maturity of disciples.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus gradually prepared his disciples for their mission to spread the Gospel, emphasizing the importance of a vital experience with God before action. He instructed them to prioritize preaching to the lost sheep of Israel, relying on God’s provision and finding supportive individuals in each town. Despite the dangers and opposition they would face, Jesus reassured them of God’s presence and promised eternal reward for their faithfulness.Jesus sent his disciples out in pairs to preach the Gospel and heal, emphasizing the revolutionary nature of their mission. This strategy of evangelism, involving the disciples as representatives of Christ, was reiterated and expanded upon throughout Jesus’ ministry, culminating in the Great Commission. Christian disciples today are called to continue this work of world evangelism, not as an optional accessory, but as the heartbeat of their faith and the purpose of the church.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus taught his disciples the importance of prayer and the Scriptures in maintaining a spiritual life. He demonstrated prayer’s significance through his own actions and later taught his disciples the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus also emphasized the authority of the Scriptures, using them to support his teachings and encourage his disciples to do the same.Jesus taught his disciples how to win souls through his actions and teachings. He demonstrated his methods in everyday situations, allowing his disciples to observe and learn from his interactions with people. This practical approach, coupled with his willingness to explain his teachings, ensured that his disciples understood and could apply his principles effectively.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus expected his disciples to obey him, not necessarily be smart. Following Jesus meant surrendering one’s life to him in absolute submission, forsaking sin, and conforming to the Kingdom of God. While many initially followed Jesus, only a handful, like Peter, remained committed to him and his teachings, even when they didn’t fully comprehend the message of the cross.Jesus patiently endured the failings of his disciples, knowing they would grow in grace and knowledge through obedience. Obedience to Christ, as demonstrated by his own life, is essential for spiritual growth and understanding. The contemporary church’s ineffectiveness stems from a lack of obedience, necessitating a return to true Christian discipleship and leadership.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus’ training method for his disciples was simple and informal, involving close association and fellowship rather than formal schooling. He emphasized the importance of being with him, allowing disciples to learn through his presence and teachings. This approach, evident in his interactions with disciples and his deliberate time spent with them, underscores the significance of personal connection in spiritual growth and understanding.Jesus’s close association with his disciples, exemplified by his constant presence and personal devotions, underscores the importance of personal follow-up in spiritual growth. This principle, though often overlooked, is crucial for nurturing new believers and developing leaders. The church, as the body of Christ, must emulate Jesus’s example by providing committed counselors who offer personal guidance and support to new converts, fostering their growth and enabling them to lead others.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

Jesus’ evangelistic strategy focused on training a small group of disciples, rather than large-scale programs. He chose twelve men, including Peter, James, and John, who were teachable and sincere in their faith. Jesus concentrated his time and efforts on these disciples, knowing their faithfulness was crucial for spreading his message to the world.Jesus, despite His popularity and ability to impress the multitudes, deliberately focused His ministry on a small group of disciples. He understood the need for competent leaders to guide and protect the masses from false teachings and deceitful religious authorities. Jesus’ strategy aimed to establish a lasting Kingdom by raising up leaders who could effectively teach and shepherd the people.Jesus focused on training a few dedicated leaders to effectively evangelize the multitudes, a strategy the modern church often neglects. This principle, evident in Ephesians 4:11-12, emphasizes the importance of equipping leaders to build the body of Christ. The church must prioritize leadership training, starting with those in positions of influence or those willing to follow Christ, to effectively combat the spread of false ideologies and reach the world for God.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

The Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert E. Coleman emphasizes the importance of evangelism as a continuous, contagious, and compelling process. The book, grounded in biblical principles, aims to shift the focus from occasional evangelistic events to a more integrated approach within the church’s daily life. By studying Jesus’ methods and strategies, Coleman seeks to provide a framework for effective evangelism that aligns with the Great Commission.The Gospels, as the only eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ ministry, are the primary source for understanding his strategy. By examining Jesus’ actions and teachings, we can discern his guiding principles for evangelism. These principles, though not always in a strict sequence, reveal a revolutionary approach to world conquest through salvation and church building.#MasterPlanOfEvangelism#RobertEColeman#TheGreatCommission#WalkWithJesus#Evangelism#Discipleship

We can never truly understand the agony and crushing distress Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane.  It was a moment of profound solitude and spiritual anguish, where the weight of the world seemed to press down on Him. In His prayers, He sought strength and guidance, knowing the immense sacrifice that lay ahead. Yet, even in this moment of vulnerability, His resolve remained steadfast, driven by love and a deep sense of purpose. The garden, with its ancient olive trees, stood as silent witnesses to His struggle, a place where divine will and human frailty met. This scene reminds us of the power of faith and the grace that can be found even in our darkest hours, offering a profound lesson in resilience and compassion.#GardenOfGethsemane#JesusDistressed#TakingOutSin#DailyDevotional#OswaldChamberswww.PatrickRyanLewis.comSupport the showAmazon StoreFront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsOPayPal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRaStripe https://bit.ly/3TL5j8FAmazon Wishlist https://amzn.to/3voCLbIVenmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewishttps://www.youtube.com/@aguyandhisbiblehttps://www.instagram.com/patrickandhisbiblehttps://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBiblehttps://www.tiktok.com/@podcasterpathttps://rumble.com/user/podcasterpathttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbible

We must realize that the church is a simply a building where we gather to worship God, it is not an object to be worshipped itself.

Why is it challenging for us, as the Body of Christ, to grasp that our behavior, regardless of the setting, should mirror the Gospel message? This message calls us to help everyone we encounter recognize their sinfulness and to lead them toward a relationship with Jesus. It is not about shouting at them regarding their sins, nor is it about allowing them to overlook their sin. It appears that we have become a Church that is, in some ways, loving people right into hell.

Recorded March 16 2025 at Bridge Church in Martinsburg WV Grasping the character of God is essential for us to fully submit to Him . By understanding His nature—His love, mercy, justice, and omnipotence—we can develop a deeper relationship with Him. This knowledge allows us to trust in His plans, even when they are beyond our comprehension. As we study His attributes, we find comfort in His unwavering faithfulness and eternal wisdom. Embracing these truths not only strengthens our faith but also inspires us to live in a way that reflects His goodness and grace.

Obedience rests entirely on our shoulders. We cannot hold anyone else accountable for our disobedience to God. It's essential to understand that unless every part of our lives aligns with God's will, we are not truly obedient in any aspect.https://www.patrickryanlewis.comBible used in this episode: https://a.co/d/0hHcvHRSupport the showAmazon StoreFront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsOPayPal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRaStripe https://bit.ly/3TL5j8FAmazon Wishlist https://amzn.to/3voCLbIVenmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewishttps://www.youtube.com/@ConversationsWithPatrickhttps://www.youtube.com/@aguyandhisbiblehttps://www.instagram.com/patrickandhisbiblehttps://www.facebook.com/PatrickRLewishttps://www.tiktok.com/@podcasterpathttps://rumble.com/user/podcasterpathttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbibleSpotify: https://spoti.fi/4aZatoD

Within the Western Church, our resolve often falters when confronted with adhering to God’s commands. Societal pressures frequently induce us to waver, hesitant to voice our convictions and act in accordance with our beliefs. This trepidation can be attributed to the apprehension of judgment or the desire to conform, yet it is imperative to recognize the fortitude derived from God. By fostering mutual support and drawing inspiration from Scripture, we can cultivate a more resilient spirit.https://www.patrickryanlewis.comSupport the showAmazon StoreFront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsOPayPal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRaStripe https://bit.ly/3TL5j8FAmazon Wishlist https://amzn.to/3voCLbIVenmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewishttps://www.youtube.com/@ConversationsWithPatrickhttps://www.youtube.com/@aguyandhisbiblehttps://www.instagram.com/patrickandhisbiblehttps://www.facebook.com/PatrickRLewishttps://www.tiktok.com/@podcasterpathttps://rumble.com/user/podcasterpathttps://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbibleSpotify: https://spoti.fi/4aZatoD
