The issue is as you have probably highlighted, that people find Christianity is so established that its so out-dated, or it simply doesn’t apply to their every day life at all.

You may perceive events like Yeah Show may be seen as something that compromises or dilutes the gospel so it can bring entertainment. However, I would respectively disagree and see that it bridging the gap and drawing a connection between what the non-believer sees as the “far-too-perfect-to-be-practiced-in-this-world” values that a church may be teaching with their everyday lives. Far too often, non-Christians cannot see how God’s wisdom is applied in their 21st century lives. They do not see they are going through a pointless pursuit for some ultimate wisdom or goal in life when this goal is in fact what is recorded in Jesus’ life.

Expecting Pastor Lam would do the entire process of sowing the seed and watering it, or the whole evangelism process as you may call it in a short 2 hours would simply being thinking beyond reality. Pastor Lam has done his part in sowing the seed in a non-believer so that other limbs of the church could take up the opportunity and “water” the seed so that the seed may grow in their heart.

I thank the Lord that Jot and I have the opportunity to invite almost a total of 60 friends to Yeah Show. Indeed it was a miracle. Without Yeah Show as an excuse, there is no way I would be able to meet at least over 30 new friends. Without Yeah Show as an excuse, we would not be able to easily invite them to fellowship and let them see what Christian life is like. Without yeah show, we would not be able to take them out to dinner after the event to let them have a greater insight of Christianity and what the true message is all about. Without that dinner, our non-Christian friend probably still would not be challenged to think about the existence of God and would still be the good girl that listens to her mum and occasionally go to temple and burn incense.

Bill, I know you are blessed to have in-depth knowledge of the bible. Having such a privilege in being such a very useful limb in the body of Christ, you could do much more in watering the many seeds that have been sown than to highlight the negatives of what could go wrong. Before the seed dries up and withers away, or get eaten by the (evil) black bird, there is much that could be done as the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

As Christians, we should all be part of the Great Commission, to spread the gospel to every corner of the earth. If you feel that there are non-Christians out there that has heard a “diluted” version of the gospel out there, as a Christian, we should have the responsibility to go and fill them in so they have the 100% concentrated true version of the gospel.

I think events like these can play two parts. One, it does give people a chance to see Christianity in a different light, as opposed to just a church building, with people in funny robes and strict rules. Two, it encourages people to think and ask the bigger questions about life, who we are, why are we here? Those kinds of things.

Yes, some people might hear and “accept” and be a lot like the seed that falls on shallow soil. But like Mario said, pray that God continues to nurture them and continues to challenge them to ask and discover. That through the journey of discovery they will come to know Jesus.

While things have the possibility of turning out badly, remember God also uses the bad to further His own glory.

It is hard, but i dont think man was looking for religion. He found an interesting intellectual toy, played with it for a while and got bored. If they aren’t looking for spiritual guidance, then they just aren’t buying what you’re selling. Man finds that the toy just didn’t match his expectations..

Disillusionment is an interesting phrasing, but probably accurate. The man was under the illusion of understanding and believing the meaning of God, and yes over time, he was disillusioned.
