Comments on: Takin’ It to the Streets http://lambofgodnj.org/blogs/esther/sharing-jesus/takin-it-to-the-streets/ Description of Esther's Kaffe Klatsch blog will go here. Sun, 13 Jun 2010 16:07:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Noelle Rhodes http://lambofgodnj.org/blogs/esther/sharing-jesus/takin-it-to-the-streets/comment-page-1/#comment-268 Noelle Rhodes Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:39:26 +0000 http://lambofgodnj.org/blogs/esther/?p=170#comment-268 It makes me think of that infamous saying (which I will paraphrase): "I don't want to live within a sound of the chapel bell - I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell." I think it was C.T. Studd that said that. Once our professor at Valley Forge, literally made us stand on top of crates (our soap boxes) in public places in Philly (parks, street corners, etc.) and preach the gospel. I was really turned off and actually weaseled my way out of the assignment. But you know what? Regardless of my opinions on the method - People got saved! Seriously! They got saved and they got plugged into churches. Sometimes we can get caught up in "methods" of evangelism. The truth is that THE MESSAGE IS SACRED and not the method. God will and does use many methods of evangelism - whether it is our choice of preference or not. His word does not return void... I am thrilled to hear that all those people were told about Jesus. I will be praying for each one.
