TGOC ANNOUNCES
NEW SHORT VIDEOS
For some time now THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST has been working to produce what we are referring to as “short videos,” which we can make available in venues such as YouTube and Tangle. Ben Bailey, James Gravelle, and Kevin Pendergrass have each contributed to this effort. We are happy to announce that the first eight lessons (ranging in length from four to nine minutes) are now online, where they have been available for approximately three weeks. We wanted to see what kind of reception they would receive before announcing them to readers of our newsletter. To say the least, we have been astonished at the response the videos have received (you will see why as you continue reading).
We believe that these short video lessons represent a valuable tool for reaching the lost and edifying the saved, especially since the videos are located on Websites other than our own (thegospelofchrist.com). At the same time, the location of the videos also increases the chances that people will learn about our work and visit our Website. In fact, we already have heard from several people who discovered THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST for the first time through these short videos, and who previously knew nothing about us. One Christian in Canada wrote:
“I just stumbled onto your website through Tangle.com, and want to give you a huge compliment on the content. I watched a 7-minute video with the young fellow sharing the entire plan of salvation. Excellent! I am a member of the Church of Christ in Ontario, Canada. We are a small (some would say struggling) congregation of the Lord’s people that could use some prayers. We (as far as I know) are the only congregation in the area that preaches the whole counsel of God, especially as it pertains to salvation. To hear the Gospel on your Website was most, most refreshing. Thank you, and God bless.”
While there are numerous religious videos on YouTube, and while Tangle is a religiously based Website, there are not many videos on either site that actually teach the Truth. We do not claim to be a “lone voice crying in the wilderness,” but we would like the Gospel message to be found in as many places as possible, which is in keeping with the motto that describes our mission and main goal: “Taking the WHOLE gospel to the WHOLE world!”
Earlier we mentioned that we have been amazed at the reception these short videos have received thus far. In only the few weeks that the videos have been posted, over 1,700 people have viewed them on the Tangle site alone. Currently, our short-video list includes the following titles:
“Are You A Faithful Christian?”
“Are You Sure You Are Saved?”
“Bible Authority”
“Did You Know that The Bible Says Satan is Real?”
“Did You Know that The Bible Says There is Only One Church?”
“Did You Know that The Bible Says We Can Know We Are Saved?”
“Did You Know that The Bible Says We Should Go To Church?”
“The Thief on the Cross”
We invite you to view each of these videos, which are available at the following Web addresses:
www.tangle.com/thegospelofchrist
www.youtube.com/thegospelofchrist
We also would like to encourage you to log onto either or both of the above Websites in order to help us “spread the news” about our newest video offerings. Feel free to rate the videos, leave comments, link to them, add the two Websites to your bookmarks or favorites, and tell your friends, acquaintances, relatives, and coworkers about them. We do not necessarily expect any of our videos to become “viral” (a term used for those top videos that are watched millions of times), but the more activity our videos receive, the greater the likelihood will be that word will spread throughout both the Tangle and YouTube communities about the important, life-changing message that the videos are offering.
As time allows, we plan to produce additional videos, which we will announce in our newsletter as they become available. |
