To understand the nature of this blog, you must first understand the nature of the company behind it. Gospel Folio Press (GFP) is a publishing company that is dedicated to producing and selling Christ centered books and pamphlets. The purpose of the books and pamphlets are to tell people about an incredible Savior who desperately loves them and wants to give them abundant life as well as save them from an never-ending hell. Our books also cover a vast array of other topics dealing with the Christian life. Our verse is Deuteronomy 32:3 “I will publish the name of the Lord.” (KJV). The main focus is to glorify God in everything that we do.
This Blog is similar to that mindset. However the main thrust will primarily be about witnessing and by association, evangelism, contrasting similarities and differences. It should be noted, because of the scope of these topics and their correlation to the rest of the christian life, this blog may seem, at times to have nothing to do with either of the above topics.
Witnessing and evangelism are like the face and appearance of the Christian. Let me explain, if I am sick, the appearance of my face will show it. Large bags under my eyes, face gaunt and clammy, when someone is sick you can generally tell just by looking at them. Likewise if a christian is not in the word(reading the Bible), does not have a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ(praying, worshiping, going to church with other believers), then his or her witnessing will reflect that. The healthier and stronger the roots of a tree are, the better its fruit is. The stronger our relationship is with our Lord, the stronger our impact for him on others will be.
Hopefully you can see something of just how big this topic of witnessing really is. A modern translation of GFP’s verse is, “I will proclaim the name of the Lord.” (emphasis added) That is really what we’re doing here, everyday, and in every way, simply proclaiming the name of the Lord, with our words, with our actions, just making Him known, proclaiming His Name.
