Wasn't sure where this should go? It's my take on what I see/experience on Christian street preaching. It's the way it's done, the 'message'. I'm totally against the routine, which shouts condemnation to me. I would have run the other way if the 'Good News ' confronted me through what I see in street preaching.
I see it as hurtful.
I would like to see a noncombative, WELCOMING street preaching. Open to discussion with anyone wanting that. Christianity is Good News, but what I see, sense is bad news.
What changes could be made to still allow this in a better way?
Discipleship is an intentional relationship where a believer leads another to Christ by the power of Holy Spirit. Without Holy Spirit, there will be no conversion.
Yes, even worldly people tell others about something great they found, a deal, a new gadget.
We found the best. We definitely want to share but as you said, with those the Holy Spirit directs us to.
How good God is to Isra’el, to those who are pure in heart! (But ) this is what the wicked are like: For them pride is a necklace; and violence clothes them like a robe. Their eyes peep out through folds of fat: evil thoughts overflow from their hearts. They scoff and speak with malice, they loftily utter threats. Tehillim (Ps) 73
Israel was stiff necked, and God divorced them. Nevertheless a remnant will be saved.
I notice some converting now. But it seems it will take very hard times to see.
Today, I've read things that show some are involved in wicked things.
