---Rules for witnessing from where you are.
In Jerusalem (Acts 1:8). ---Ask Jesus and He will answer that a
prophet is not important among his own people. ---Ask the disciples whether it was easy as
Jews to witness to Jews about Jesus after Pentacost and they will answer: No. ---So how do you witness to those who do not
want to listen to you? ---It is the old result: quieter and quieter
until there is nothing said. Silence. ---Who won? Satan. ---Are there governments who are
professionally through their Department of Education trying to suffocate
Theological Seminaries or Theological Departments or Theological training? ---Are they inventing rules that students
must not be forced to take subjects and that it should be optional? ---Are they minimizing the required subjects
so that theological core subjects are replaced by anthropological subjects like
sociology and psychology and the like? ---Do they encourage that mission should be
just a selling of one’s own country music, habits, eating culture but not
content of the Word of God? ---Then we have Secular Theology not Adventist
Theology. ---So how do you witness in a country where
secular theology is boosted and Adventist Theology is suppressed? ---On your knees. Praying. For insight. For
task based witnessing. For clinging to the truth though the heavens fall. To be
honest to the truth like a needle of a compass to the pole. ---True Education is to be not mirrors of
other people’s minds, but to be thinkers. Not to be dictated but to be
navigator to truth amid stress, strain, difficult situations. ---You hint the right time. You add
footnotes to your assignments. You select the right author with the best
wisdom. You advise a person professionally with the correct truth. ---It is not truth to encourage a drinking
culture just because it is the ancient culture of the country. No, what is needed
is not cultural romanticism but cultural revisionism. Correct? ---Are there people around you speaking of the
greatness of the culture of our own country? Look at the pitfalls. And there
are many in culture. ---Culture is just a human construct that
tries to help people cope. And what inadequate attempts. Correct. ---So if you do not know how to witness,
where do you go? Navigate to the Adventist church nearest to you. Take Voice of Prophecy lessons from them.
When you finish the series you will know how to witness. Correct?
