A Concept-Based Website

I know absolutly nothing about building a web-site, but why not one (animated) with past preachers preaching some of their sermons? I know it would have to be "voiceover" on most, but I would enjoy something like that. Don;t know how hard it would be to do, but it would be worthwhile. Done right I believe even non-christians would watch, & could be a great evangilism tool! I know this is a Baptist Site, but on what I'm speaking on all denominations could be included...mainly sermons on the necessity of Christ, knowing Him as your personal saviour.

 

Off the top of my head..Spurgeon, Dwight Moody,
Johnathan Edwards, Lee Robertson, I know there are many out there that printed sermons can be found for, back thru the 1600's at least. It would take some research to make sure the sermons posted were absolutly Bilblical. But in those times folks were'nt so hung up on denomination as just getting the message of salvation out!

 

Not being cynical,...but hard making the Word intresting! Remember...My Word shall not return unto me void!!! Sides I didn't mean just "talking", I meant PREACHING!!!

Uncharted, don't "gussy up" the Word. I think what you're attempting to advocate is, it's more interesting if they hear the Word, and be entertained at the same time. But when you really think about it, what you're talking about is focusing someone's attention on, using your example, the wolf singing a song, and hoping that the viewer retains what the wolf was singing about.

I don't think it's a bad idea; but concept-driven doesn't necessarily preclude straight-forward preaching. If the individual knows they're visiting a site that's based on the concept of listening sermons by historical preachers, then they know what they're going to get. Don't distract them from that with bells and whistles.

Just my two cents, which won't even buy bubblegum these days.

 

Ok how about something with your animal theme. I've made the comment on this board before about animals having more common sense, & being easier to get along with than a lot of people I know...folks here on the BB excluded of course!!
Why not critters, either singing as you proposed, or giving life lessons out of the Bible. Mabey along the line of the animal seeing humans doing something that they, even as animale know isn't right,& go from there. You could have a time with a subject such as evolution! From a Whales perspective say, since they are the first animal mentioned by name in Gen.

 

Again..not being cynical, but we are already First!! First in our Loving Father's eyes, First in our Redeemer's Eyes' & First in the eyes' of the Holy Ghost!
Aside from that, how many sites are there trying to do nothing but reach the lost compared to those dedicated to believers?? I've seen plenty that try to work to both, but with how much sucess? Just for an example, but on radio, look at Unshackled, by Pacific Garden Missions in Chicago. This is the longest playing live recorded radio program in history. Their goal,..to reach the lost. That I believe is the reason for their lasting so long. They took the command to: go into the highways & byways, & compell them to come, & stuck with it.
I'm truly not trying to shoot you down, better than any advice anyone on this board can give you is to seek the will of the Lord. What will He have you do? Find His will for your talent, then find ones that could help you succeed at what He's given you to do! A brilliant idea is nothing without HIS guidance! This I know from experince!
I'm usually in & out & AM willing to help in whatever way I can! Have a Blessed Evening, Night, & Tomorrow!

 

Sorry taking so long to get back, been a real busy last day & a half!! Been working on both our computers trying to work some bugs out, & working on forms & such for our business we're starting up.
That aside, Been awhile since I've run into someone that's never heard unshackled. It's put out by Pacific Garden Mission, in Chicago. It's broadcast worldwide over 100's of different stations.Like I said it's just an example of trying to reach the lost. As far as sites that already exist, just do a little reasearch with google or proably any search engine for christian-based websites & see for yourself if I'm right about the ones just, or primarily aimed at christians vs. those solely trying to reach the lost.
As far as your last statement, unless you are a spiritual cripple,(which you don't sound like to me)then you have strength, if only a little. It's just like the muscles in your body, the harder you work them, the stronger you get physically. The more you work your FAITH, the stronger you get spiritually!! Criticism...ahh, whats that?
Words? Words can sting...but they can't hurt you or our Father!! Remember, He that is in us is stronger than he that is in the world!!
