“Why do you think it’s necessary to be on the street? There are plenty of churches and if people want to hear about God they can go to one”
Let me make it abundantly clear that this website is not a call to abandon the local church. We are taught in the Bible not to forsake the assembly of the brethren. Believers are called to gather in order to teach, exhort, and edify one another. This website is simply a call and encouragement to take on the Great Commission and preach the Gospel biblically. Our mission was given to us (and every Christian) by Jesus himself: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
It is our intention to deliver the true Biblical message that Jesus was crucified, dead, buried, and rose on the third day, and that whoever repents of their sins and trusts in Jesus will have everlasting life. Whoever chooses to refuse Jesus' salvation will be cast into the lake of fire on Judgment Day.
“I am a Christian and I don’t want to hear some street-corner preacher hollering about the Ten Commandments when I’m out having a good time.”
In the New Testament John the Baptist delivered a message of repentance (Matthew 3:2) Jesus' message that he consistently delivered was one of repentance (Matthew 4:17); when Jesus enlisted His followers with the Great Commission they proclaimed repentance and trust in the Savior to escape the wrath of God on Judgment Day(Acts 17:30). We use the Law (just as Jesus and His disciples did) to show people how sinful they are before God, then we give them the Good News. We do not stand in judgment, we are sinners just like everyone else; however, we have been saved by the grace of God through repentance and trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“Most people have already heard this, wouldn’t it do more good to go where they have never heard about Jesus?”
Today's contemporary Gospel message has been watered down to the extent that it is no longer the same Gospel that Jesus delivered to us, nor the same message that countless martyrs throughout Christian history have given their lives for. The modern Gospel message of today
…You have a God-shaped hole in your heart that only God can fill. Is your marriage on the rocks? Are your kids out of control? Are you out of work or in a dead-end job? You need Jesus! Jesus can fix all of your problems. God has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life...
fails to show a person how guilty he is before an infinitely righteous and holy God, resulting in a lack of contrition or change in ones life. However when one is brought through the Law and made aware of ones sinful state before God (Gal 3:24) a person can then come to the Savior for righteousness rather than life enhancement. Jesus referred to this in the Parable of the Sower
“How effective is it to give out tracts, don't most of them end up in the trash?”
The Prince of Preachers, Charles Spurgeon, said, “There is a real service of Christ in the distribution of the gospel in its printed form… many thousand souls have been led into the kingdom of heaven by this simple means.”
The simple truth of the matter is we cannot measure the "effectiveness" of a Gospel presentation simply because the human heart is off-limits to man; this is God's realm. God alone knows and convicts the human heart unto salvation through His Gospel (Romans 1:16) it is merely our commission to take that message to a lost and dying world.
