Sharing the Gospel: A Call to Action

Published on by Texas GospelLeave a comment

TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

Some believe that sharing the gospel is best done by waiting for opportunities that God provides. Others emphasize a more proactive approach, inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” This call to action suggests no boundaries—every method and place can be used to spread the good news.

Evangelism can take many forms: speaking with neighbours, engaging in street or classroom discussions, building friendships, or even sharing faith in competitive or challenging environments. The key is to consistently proclaim the message of Christ wherever we are.

However, the method of sharing is less important than the message itself. It’s vital to ensure that the gospel is communicated truthfully and accurately. Becoming a follower of Christ involves more than a simple prayer; it requires recognizing one’s sin, turning to Jesus in repentance, and fully committing to Him as Lord and Master. This transformation brings deep joy and purpose to the believer’s life, as seen in Romans 6:22: “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.”

Evangelism is an urgent mission for every believer. It’s a call to both action and truth, ensuring that the life-changing message of Christ reaches all.

Time often feels like it moves faster when life is full of joy, and that has been true for The LeFevre Quartet. This group, known for their heartfelt music, is gearing up for a significant milestone.

Mike LeFevre, Baritone of the quartet, shared his excitement about what lies ahead. “2025 is a big year for LeFavre Quartet. We’re celebrating 20 years as the LeFavre Quartet and so that’s exciting. So we’ll be doing some special things throughout the year. Should the Lord not call us on, then we’re just going to be doing a lot of stuff. And if He does call us on, then we’re going to be doing a lot of fun stuff in heaven,” he said.

This upcoming anniversary is not just a celebration of longevity but also a reflection of their dedication to their faith and music. Fans can look forward to various events and projects that the group has planned to mark this important year.

As the new year approaches, The LeFevre Quartet has also released a new song with a powerful message: Things We Cannot Change. The lyrics speak to the constancy of truth and faith amid life’s uncertainties: “He is the one truth that remains through the things we cannot change.”

Tribute Quartet Takes Unusual Approach to New Single

Tribute Quartet has made an interesting choice for their latest radio single. Instead of releasing a new song, they have decided to use a track from an earlier album.

Josh Singletary, Baritone vocalist and pianist, explained this uncommon decision. He said, “We actually decided to go with a single from Volume 1 of our Quartet Tribute series. Come on, let’s go to that land. Old Rex Neelan song.”

Singletary pointed out that it’s not usual for a group to choose a song from a previous album as a radio single. However, Tribute Quartet had a special reason for this choice.

The group is planning a new tour for 2025 called “Tribute Quartet’s Quartet Tribute tour.” To prepare for this tour, they wanted to include their new members on the first volume of their Quartet Tribute series.

“We decided to put the new guys on the first volume. They are who is with us and They love those songs. They really love singing those songs,” Singletary explained.

This decision allows the current group members to be featured on the album they will be promoting during the tour. Singletary added, “So we thought you know what for this tour Let’s put them on that album. So when we carry it, it’s them. It’s the current group.

Southbound’s Insight into a New Year and New Kind

Southbound is set to mark 32 years as a band in 2025. Clint Brown recently shared a perspective on the concept of a new year.

“I’ve learned through the years that at the end of the year, we all say the same thing, happy new year, as that clock ticks right over midnight. And I’ve learned through the years that new is two different things: There’s a new in time, and there’s a new in kind.”

Brown went on to illustrate this concept with a clever analogy:

“If I have a car that’s a 2015 Honda Accord and someone gives me a 2023 Honda Accord, they’ve only given me a car that’s new in time. But if they give me a 2023 Mercedes, that’s a new kind of car.”

Applying this idea to the concept of a new year, Brown pointed out, “Every year, we get the same amount of time that we had in the last year.”

Brown concluded his thoughts with a heartfelt wish for Southbound’s listeners, “So, my prayer for you this year is that you would not have just a new year in time, but that you would have a new kind of new year. So, from southbound to all of you that are listening, we pray this year that God gives you a brand new, happy, new kind of year.”

Southbound’s latest project which will release January 17t. It includes the recent single release, I Left It In The Water.
