Street Preaching
morning ya'll
hmmm is it ya'all or ya'll?
nice change today in that I don't have anything immediate to do.
well I do, but its not work, but give it a few days and I prolly will.
and besides lots of other stuff to make sure I get it done over next few days, but nice to be able to set the pace and relax a little,
speaking of which need breakfast.
one little thing to get off my chest.
street preachers....there has been some in slough, ive seen one all over London from Paddington to oxford street, but yesterday had some nut in a train station 'preaching' to anyone who wanted (or rather didn't want) to hear.
Don't get me wrong (before I even start) I am a Christian, I do believe Jesus is the son of God and miracles can be performed in his name, however I don't believe these people do any good, in fact they do a lot of bad.
the guy ive seen all over London, Paddington etc seems to be fully hypocritical, he even had a go at me and a mate when we said we were Christians.
'but your not living the life, out on the streets' he said
well funny enough we don't feel that is the best way to spread the news.
I do wonder how many people have even talked to him, let alone become Christians and _been supported by a local church_ (being a rather important part of it)
bottom line I think he is more condemning then any use.
and yesterday as I said some random guy started 'preaching'
some very odd theory though,
'we're all Jesus, your Jesus, your Jesus, your Jesus' he said pointing to people across the railtrack.
'wiggle your little finger in Jesus' was also a strange thing to say.
thing is, I know what effect this has, only bad as far as I can see.
I was with my gf, and this certainly didn't bless her, nor me, as I just felt embarrassed and wanted him to stop.
I personally feel a better way to 'reach people' is to try to live in God grace and be a good person, making clear you are a Christian and this is what you believe, but I don't condemn people, I don't have a go at people, I don't cram anything down peoples necks, I don't think that does any good.
I think my friends would feel they could talk to me should they be interested/want to know more, and in fact I know that's true as most of them have,
trouble is then some of them were let down by the church...
but then that's another point...
but even so I believe something has been sown and at least they know the truth.
well anyway, I think that's everything I want to say...
should you have questions or whatever email me sn00pyj@hotmail.com
I'd better get on...
