Evangelism, Equipping, and Encouraging

I created this site to share with others my journey into evangelism, open air preaching, and other aspects of the my call to serve the Lord. I also hope to hear from others and their endeavors and to offer ways for people to participate. The evangelist along with the pastor, teacher, Apostles, and Prophets are given to the church to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. I hope to do my part in equipping the saints to share their faith, and serve God according to thier gifts.

John 3:16 Updated for modern times

John 3:16

I have decided to do a paraphrase of John 3:16 to make it more modern, to bring it inline with our culture and times. I am basing this on observation of what preachers teach that Jesus brings people. If you can think of others please feel free to add them in.

Original

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Modern

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not drive a chevette but race through life in a corvette.


For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not ever be sick but have good health in this present life.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not be poor in finances(regardless of their spending habits or work ethic) but have riches that fall from the sky so they can enjoy them without work.


Here is just a few of mine, what can you come up with?


Yes I know this is satire, read the prophets they used it as well..
