Thoughts on Evangelism

I have been sharing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, for over two years now, mainly on YouTube. I have no idea how many people were converted. Maybe none were. Were any changed? Yes, one person was changed. I was.

That one thing that I did not expect from evangelism was to be changed by it. A few weeks after I started sharing the Gospel, my interests started to change. I started to lose interest in movies and television. This was very odd, because I was a movie buff, and the type of person that turns the TV on the moment I arrive home. Now my DVD collection gathers dust and my TV is mostly used to display YouTube videos (I use a Sony Playstation to stream web content on my HD TV).

I wondered about this, and thought that the Lord wanted to protect me from the temptations that may come to me by sharing the Gospel in YouTube. Maybe Jesus does not like to watch TV and go to movies too, and after all, the whole point of accepting Jesus Christ is to be like Him. Frankly, there are no good movies being made anyway, and I would not be surprised if TV becomes as obscure as shortwave radio. The future is YouTube and other sources of web content.

Something odd happened recently. I used to post videos with licensed music, but the Holy Spirit told me to stop, and so I took them down. I thought my views would drop, but to my surprise, my views started to rise, and now my average views have tripled! I also discovered a lot of places where I can obtain freeware content.

Two years. 100 subscribers on YouTube. I know by now that it is not my work, but the Lord’s! What might be next? I never knew this could be so much fun!

God bless,

George

P.S. For those of you who might be interested in why I share the Gospel on YouTube, here is my YouTube video explaining why:
