There is a movement that has been gathering in the wind. The internet wind.
Called “I Am Second”, videos are available on the net. A number of high profile people are a part of the message. I had encountered it a year or so ago, as the website was progressing and material was just becoming available. Now, the website www.iamsecond.com is fully functional and inviting. For those who are web savvy, this is a notch above other sites.
The idea? That God is first and we are second. Jesus Christ is the entrance point to knowing the one who is first. Over the years I’ve been a part of this invitational approach to letting others know about Jesus. We have seen such approaches as Four Spiritual Laws, Steps to Peace with God, EE, and Alpha.
Last year our church explored The Truth Project. A great series that is mainly geared for those who have been Christians for some time. The I Am Second series is more for those who have not been Christians.
This Sunday, in our Family Bible School hour, I’m hoping we will have a little more discussion on this tool. Perhaps this “next step” approach can help us in our community. We’ll see.
