Witness is a Noun, Not a Verb
I feel a great sense of inadequacy to sit down and write a blog on witness. Yet, I believe it is so essential to what we are as ekklesia (church) that I must at least try to frame why it matters and where we should focus our attention.
Every Member Involvement
It is clear in the New Testament that every member of the ekklesia (assembly or congregation) should participate in gatherings to edify and encourage one another as they assemble. In fact, this was normative. Believers expected to have the privilege and obligation to bless each other using the gifts the Holy Spirit had given them. It was not a cultural thing. It was a Spirit thing.
