Craig Groschel one of America's leading innovative pastors came up with a really "practical" top 10 list of THINGS TO DO WHEN NO ONE IS SAVED. Craig has always been a favorite of mine wheather I always agree with him or not, due to his practicallity and most importantly his transparency of being a pastor, a dad, and a genuine man of God. In His ministry his desire is to give it all away to further the kingdom of God (i.e. he allows ministries to use ALL of his sermons, handouts, print outs, video clips...FOR FREE...You don't see that kind of kingdom mindedness much).

Enjoy

1. DON'T BLAME YOURSELF
2. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED AND STOP PREACHING CHRIST
3. ENCOURAGE YOUR CHURCH TO INVITE PEOPLE NEXT WEEK WHO DON'T KNOW CHRIST
4. PRAY WITH YOUR CHURCH FOR PEOPLE TO MEET CHRIST
5. PRAY DURING THE WEEK FOR GOD TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO SOMEONE NEXT WEEKEND
6. PRAY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE GOSPEL DURING THE WEEK.
7. PRAY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO "SHOW" THE GOSPEL DURING THE NEXT WEEK.
8. TALK TO YOUR CHURCH ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE LAST SERVICE WHO DID MEET CHRIST.
9. EXPRESS THAT YOU KNOW SOME ARE CONSIDERING THE DECISION. ENCOURAGE THENM NOT TO PIT IT OFF.
10. STAND UP AND BOLDLY INVITE PEOPLE TO MEET CHRIST NEXT TIME YOU SHARE HIS LOVE.
