    Seems to me that it is similar to picketing funerals. Some things are just in poor taste.

    I just leave them alone and focus on my own ministry. "How is God working in your life?" That is always my question. Just keep pointing to :jesus: !

    Does he hold that he is a sinner, and that Jesus died in His place, and that God raised him from the dead?

    This how I've got it figured: Back in the 1960's a young man either got drafted to go to Vietnam or found some way to get out of it.

    Of the ones that dodged it some went to Canada. I don't know why they were determined to contaminate a perfectly good country but there they went.

    Some were pretty smart and got a deferment by going to med school.

    Another bunch weren't going to have The Establishment make them get a haircut and stop smoking dope, they weren't smart enough to get into med school, didn't like back bacon and hockey enough to go to Canada, lacked the sense of duty, honor and Country so they piled into their VW micro buses and went to seminary.

    Once they got there they started to find the Bible was full of moral absolutes, the concept of Good and evil, the distinction between the Holy and profane.... Not cool, man. Being non-conformists they banged on the walls of our hallowed institutions demanding that God drop out, drink up and get groovy.

    'Bird, I spent 13 years with those 1960 dropouts running the show in the Methodist church. They are still protesting whatever the current issues are buzzing (pun intended) around. They've replaced the Flower Power stickers on their VW's with Coexist stickers on their Priuses.

    That is a progressive.

    But you missed the gospels and how Jesus often went to the moral law.

    2 Tim. 4:1-8

    Real question here. Scripture seems to point to the work of the evangelist to be PREACHING the word.

    Is sending letters and tracts PREACHING the word? Is sending letters and tracts the work of an evangelist or just another something that any Christian can use?

    I applaud evangelist for his tenacity in sharing the Gospel. I'm just wondering if from the perspective of evangelism if it's not supposed to be a going to them and preaching the word event and not a letter or tract?

    Paul sent letters of correction to churches.

    However, he didn't throw around the charge of being false converts.
