If so is it only for some to do or for all of us to do? Do we desire to see others saved? Do we desire to walk in Christs Likeness? Let us use Christ as our example.

Mat 13:1Â The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. Mat 13:2Â And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Mat 13:3Â And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; Mat 13:4Â And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Mat 13:5Â Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: Mat 13:6Â And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. Mat 13:7Â And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: Mat 13:8Â But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Mat 13:9Â Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mat 15:21Â Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. Mar 6:34Â And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. Again we see much traveling and desire to see the Gospel Spread. We should not concern ourselves with those that will mock and ridicule us. Continue planting the seeds of Christ everywhere you go. There is alot more Scripture to support this, i htink those I have supplied will suffice for now. God Bless, Dave God Bless, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are The Salvation Army and are known to do this for the most part. Now though, you sometimes have to worry about permits and stuff, but we still do it, not as much as before. We bring someo fo our brass band, we sing songs and then we use our bass drum or a bench as a kneeling altar and pray with and talk to people. It is an amazing experience. It is awkward at first but people are very open to those who are willing to be real and not just stand on a soap box and condemn them to hell. I believe we should be out there, Jesus never called us to be comfortabel or loved, but he did call us to Love and to comfort. hmmmmmmm good thread!

Mar 1:38Â And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. Luk 10:3Â Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Joh 1:43Â The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Just a few more.

The fireman stayed in the fire truck and listened to a C.D. while a child inside burned to death. His excuse was that He had purchased a very expensive C.D. player for the fire chief and was simply trying it out. He was not a firefighter, He was an imposter!.. pretending to be a fireman, He enjoyed the title and the clout but when duty called He proved to be an imposter. There are many church members that pretend to be Christians but when duty calls they refuse to go out...... imposters! We can't just sit back and not evangelize. Ray Comfort is one of my favorite evangelists (because He takes the message to the streets and teaches others how to do it too.) He said once, "The Church likes the word evangelism about as much as the sinner likes the word righteousness." visit way of the master.com You will enjoy it! great post!!

Actually it was watching Ray and Kirk doing just this, and it really peaked my curiosity as to what we should be doing. So i started searching the scriptures for this. The Gospel is full of it, Christ's life was centered on spreading the gospel through out all the cities and towns. God Bless, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And handing out gospel tracts. Their gospel tracts are the best in the world! Seriously! visit living waters. com if you want to order some.

I even ordered 5000 tracts for the congregation to hand out. Some have gotten excited as well and ordered the evidence bibel and the shcool of Biblical evangelism. These things are absolutely great!
