Who is the more effective evangelist?
U. of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse writes that she saw while walking in Madison "a man, standing alone, with no one near him, by the Library. He was holding open a Bible and bellowing out the Ten Commandments. When he got to the end, he went to 'In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.' A little further on, there was a young man from a Spring Green church who had set up large dispensers of coffee and cocoa. The sign said 'free.' He had a group of people around him both times I passed him. In addition to giving them hot drinks, he was answering their questions. On the way toward State Street, I heard him telling people that his life was good because he allowed Jesus to guide him, and on the way back toward Bascom Hill, I heard him restating their question: why should I follow the teachings of a man who lived two thousand years ago?"

Truely we can do more by example than by just reading a passage in the Bible. I look forward to your posts. I missed your sermon on the 23rd but know you were busy with the Journeys Walk.
