Things New and Old: How do you pray then in terms of evangelism, etc

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

How do you pray then in terms of evangelism, etc

2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us,
that the word of the Lord may have free course,
and be glorified, even as it is with you.

Brother, I told the church the last time we meet for prayers about you, Alan Lloyd - who is asking questions, and gives the impression that he wants to learn the truth we pray that you may be converted to the truth. That's one way we pray about evangelism.

We also pray for those who labour in Cambodia and Vietnam... and a man labouring right in the middle of NY slum... we pray for doors of opportunity to preach the gospel truth to God's children elsewhere...

We are very conscious that we are redundant and irrelevant to those that are dead in trespasses and sins.

Well if you really are praying for me thanks, because if their is one thing I really do desire it;s to know the truth.

What do you mean 'If you really are praying for me.'

Of course we did! My church members can confirm that I specifically made the request known to them.

Alan Lloyd
No no I believe you and thank you, I was just saying in case you were speaking hypothectically to explain how you pray. You see youv'e got me all messed up now.

@Alan, My brother, you are close to a knowledge of the truth. We here have a saying, if you play on the creek bank, after awhile you might slip into the water...Those of us who come into the church have to overcome a lot of wrong teaching that we absor… See more

I am terribly sorry that you are messed up.

The probable reason is you try to harmonize error and truth. Just jettisoned away the old baggage, learn the gospel truth afresh from the Scriptures itself. Anything inconsistent or contradictory cannot be true.

p/s ONLY those whom God has effectually called to grace and salvation can be evangelized; they alone are able to discern the spiritual truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ; spiritual things are spiritually discerned, 1Cor 2:14.
