Our mission was given to us (and every Christian) by Jesus himself:

 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 

 

It is our intention to deliver the true Biblical message that Jesus was crucified, dead, buried, and rose on the third day, and that whoever repents of their sins and trusts in Jesus will have everlasting life.  Whoever chooses to refuse Jesus' salvation will be cast into the lake of fire on Judgment Day.

On The Street

As we are on the street talking to people we prefer to deliver the message in the same manner in which Jesus and his disciples did.  They taught repentance and trust in the Savior will save you from the wrath of God on Judgment Day.  We use the Law (just as Jesus and His disciples did) to show people how sinful they are before God and then we give them the Good News.  We do not stand in judgment of the ones we talk with.  We are sinners just like everyone else, however, we have been saved by the grace of God through repentance and trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Gospel Message:

We believe that today's contemporary Gospel message has been watered down to the extent that it is no longer the same Gospel that Jesus delivered to us, nor the same message that countless martyrs throughout Christian history have given their lives for.

 

 In the New Testament John the Baptist delivered a message of repentance 

(Matthew 3:2) because the Kingdom of Heaven was near.  Jesus' message that he consistently delivered was one of repentance (Matthew 4:17).  When Jesus enlisted His followers with the Great Commission they preached the same message of repentance (Acts 17:30).

The modern Gospel message of today has broken away from the Biblical message of salvation through repentance and trust in Jesus as Savior.  Today when you hear an altar call you will generally hear this:

You have a God-shaped hole in your heart that only God can fill.  Is your marriage on the rocks?  Are your kids out of control?  Are you out of work or in a dead-end job?  You need Jesus!  Jesus can fix all of your problems.  God has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life.  All you have to do is say this simple prayer today and you will be on the road to success: "God, I give myself to you today.  I cannot do this on my own.  Please take my life and turn it around.  I want your plan and purpose for my life and I commit my life to you today."  If you said this prayer today and really meant it you are officially in the Kingdom of God and you are a child of God.

For the sake of clarification God will save whom He will save and there are certainly people that have been saved that recited the sinner's prayer.  We cannot dictate to God how or whom He will save.  It is simply an observation that many are "backslidden" and this could have been prevented if the sinner had come to God in repentance and trust in Jesus.  Today's messages and the sinner's prayer are primarily man-centered and have forsaken Jesus' teachings on repentance and trust.  The main concern is that many people have said the sinner's prayer, but there is no contrition or change in their lives.  If one prays the modern prayer it is questionable if he has truly repented of his sins.  In many churches today the word sin is hardly used at all or it is generalized and rarely personalized.  

In the book of James it is written, Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  This is a clear call to repentance.

Just as it would be foolish to assume that if someone has said the sinner's prayer that they are not truly repentant; it would be just as foolish to assume that if someone comes to God through the use of the Law, to show the need for a Savior, that they are truly repentant as well.  Repentance and trust are truly matters of the heart and are strictly between the individual and God. Jesus taught on this subject when He delivered the Parable of the Sower.

However, if one is brought through the Law they are more likely to truly see their need for a Savior because they see how sinful they are in God's eyes.  Once one realizes how guilty he is before an infinitely righteous and holy God he will be more likely to truly repent and trust in the Savior, thereby being the "good soil" that Jesus referred to in the Parable of the Sower.

What About The Church?

Let me make it abundantly clear that this website is not a call to abandon the local church.  We are taught in the Bible to not forsake the assembly of the brethren.  Believers are called to gather in order to teach, exhort, and edify one another. This website is simply a call and encouragement to take on the Great Commission and preach the Gospel biblically.
