@EvangelismOnlin When the Church reaches out authentically, we evangelize, saying that we care and are here for you. Through cards, goodies, care packages, or prayer bears we are reminded that we are called, loved, and wanted by the Church and God.

@EvangelismOnlin Evangelism can be as simple as talking to someone when they visit. The church should not be a lonely place and a simple "hello" or "welcome" is an ordinary sign that indicates a loving space.

@EvangelismOnlin As we are pastors evangelizing, we are called to live abundant lives, being our true selves, and pastors are not perfect. Can feedback be a way congregations evangelize to pastors if it helps us as leaders live a more abundant life?

[MirandaJoy @Miranda_Joy7]

@EvangelismOnlin Listening is crucial to evangelism and helping people live abundant lives. It is important to hear each other's perspectives on traditions and scriptural interpretation, which involves being vulnerable and building authentic trust.

[MirandaJoy @Miranda_Joy7]

@EvangelismOnlin It is so important to be yourself when evangelizing. Being ourselves helps us show others they can be their authentic selves which is part of the image of God.

Evangelism can happen in so many ways! I can't wait to learn more about ways to healthily show God's love @EvangelismOnlin

@SenTomCotton Hi. Have you ever taken a class on critical race theory? I’ve taken a few and this has never been my experience.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

We reviewed more than 900 officials and executives in prominent positions and found that just 20% identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, multiracial or otherwise a person of color.

In case you needed a reason to believe that this generation will save us all, here it is. The entire confirmation class at First United Methodist Omaha decided not to join at this time in protest of the UMC’s anti lgbtq+ policies. 🌈❤️

It is nice to remember that people outside the #UMC care about the decisions of #GC2019. Thank you, @rwilliamsonjr .

[Robert Williamson Jr @rwilliamsonjr]

As the #UMC enters another day of deliberations at #GC2019, a reminder that we are all people of infinite dignity and worth in the eyes of God. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

@SirElismyer Hmm. Jesus was on the "wrong side of culture" and "the wrong side of history." Yet, we ask, "What would Jesus do?" to help lead our culture and history forward. I think Jesus was the example and it seems like he was judged pretty well. I think I'll follow his lead. #GC2019

Church: Give us a sign!
Holy Spirit: 10 of these points are unconstitutional
Church: Why won't you speak? Where are the young people?
Holy Spirit: 15,000 signed this petition..
Church: I wish we had some guidance!

If only people could see that we read the same bible and interpret it differently. https://t.co/HnukAWywM4 #GC2019 #UMC2019

Q2 in Job 33 Elihu spends a lot of time explaining why Job should listen to his wise words, God inspired but then God rejects? #skepscrip
