It may be my webfiltering software, but there is only a large blank square where the video should be. If all else fails, try hosting the video.

The video requires the latest version of Flash, Nathan. That may be your problem.

Anyone else having problems watching the video?

Yes, I see the same blank square. How can I get the latest version of Flash?

Very good guys.

I have no "reason" not to share the gospel.

Thanks

I enjoyed that very much. Thank you. It's good to get an outside perspective of how foolish our excuses are.

Ha! Guys, I had tears streaming down my cheeks, I was laughing so hard. My family and I all loved watching this hilarious video. My brother wants to share it with our youth group. Good message!

I can't download the video...but I'll comment anyway. :)

I realize that we should have no "reasons" not to share the gospel...yet I admit that there are times when I raise "reasons" why I can't share the gospel...and they do sound pretty silly.

That was great! Thanks. It just shows what extremes we will go to just to make excuses for our sin.

Nice, guys. The fact is that we as young people can pretty much get away with ANYTHING in this regard, this is precisely an area where we should be exploiting the freedom of our youth! - Since our culture is so willing to tolerate youthful creativity, earnestness, and "exploration," why not let these allowance manifest in our bold explanation of the Gospel to people at grocery stores, people sitting next to us on the bus, older people, peers, etc., etc., etc.? We just dont need to worry about being offensive as much as we tend to worry.

I want to include this on my blog, but I dont want to use the video, and my computer is having a very goofy time with the downloads- anyone willing to provide a written list of these hilarious "reasons" for me to copy and paste? I would be much obliged.

Sometimes when we see our excuses dramatized, we see how inexusable our exuses really are.

MM: I loved your first paragraph. That is exactly the kind of approach young people need to take in sharing the Gospel.

Here's the list:

#8 - Might Get Beat Up
#7 - Won't Make Sense
#6 - Might Be Made Fun Of
#5 - Won't Know How to Start
#4 - I'll Be A Bad Witness
#3 - I'll Say the Wrong Thing
#2 - I'll Be a Religious Nut
#1 - I Don't Know Enough

Thanks Alex :)

...Taking the liberty of revising my earlier paragraph, given my proclivity for typos.. :/

Ahem: The fact is that SINCE we as young people can pretty much get away with ANYTHING in this regard, this is precisely an area where we should be exploiting the freedom of our youth! - Since our culture is so willing to tolerate youthful creativity, earnestness, and "exploration," why not let these allowances manifest in our bold explanation of the Gospel to people at grocery stores, to people sitting next to us on the bus, to older people, to peers, etc., etc., etc.?

For a few years, my family and I have been handing out tracts to cashiers, vendors, hotel maids, etc. (pretty much anyone we come across, even people who come to our door trying to sell stuff.)What I think most Christians don't realize is how rewarding this is. I still get nervous, but we get so many positive responses, it's really encouraging! People really are open, and God brings the right people into your path at the right time; we have been so blessed!
( May I suggest a terrific site to get tracts from? www.answersingenesis.org)

:D My brother and I had a great laugh from that. Excellent point.

That was so great.

*cough*

THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

*cough*

Wow. I've been challenged. Maybe you should take a poll on how many readers are actually personal evangelists. I'm going to share this with everyone!

Thanks so much.
