OPEN the DOOR - Timothy Steele - Bog

How many times have you invited your family and friends to go to church with you only to have them refuse? To make matters worse, they give you poor excuses as to why they cannot (or will not) go to church with you. What you may find interesting is that many of these same people, who constantly refuse your requests to go to church, have the following characteristics: -Claim to be spiritual -Love to talk about God and faith with you privately So why, then, is it so hard to get these people to go to church? They believe in God and enjoy talking about God and faith, yet they refuse to go to the very place where God is the major topic of discussion. The Bible teaches that God intends for all believers to be part of a church family and be in mission together. OPEN the DOOR will help you understand why your friends have not moved into a community with other believers. Plus, OPEN the DOOR will give you five simple steps that you can do to get these same friends studying the Bible each week and becoming witnesses for Christ within their communities. OPEN the DOOR will give you a strategy to help you reach your friends and family for Christ. This strategy advocates a style of church community that is found in the New Testament whose time has come back around; a unique style of church that you can do yourself! Reading OPEN the DOOR will challenge the way you think about church and the Christian community, and may open up opportunities for you to serve Christ in ways you never imagined.
