It Insults the Memory of the Apostles to Do Such a Thing...

And they (the unbelievers) called them (Peter and John), and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge you.
(Act 4:18-19)


Do we really need to confer with the world about whether or not we should speak of Christ and preach him in his fullness? If we did, we are opposed to the early apostles who wouldn't even have considered such a thing as the late Dr. Martyn-Lloyd Jones explains.

[2corinthians710]

I wanna go open-air, I'm just to much of a stupid coward to do so, how should I go about doing it? They have a stage-like deal in the mddle of my town's park which is easily accessible, do I dare ask permission to speak on that stage, knowing that I cant really determine what is public property and what is not in this town? What are examples of public property where i can speak open-air without a permit? Can u pray God will prepare me for the field of open-air preaching, despite my voice?

I'm not sure about your cities jurisdictions, but I will pray for you about the decision. Always take into consideration that God may be wanting you to do open air, or he may not. He may want you to serve in another area where you would be more effective for the kingdom so don't rule that out, too. I'll keep you in my prayers.

With one accord, they prayed. There is no hierarchy nor laity in the Body Of Christ. We were all gifted with functioning gifts, for the edification of the Body. We are brothers and sisters. Let's pray about it.

You may not see God and the Bible as relevant right now, but God sent his Son to shed his blood for you anyway. He demonstrated his love for us. You can't say that God doesn't know anything about what it means to be human, as Jesus lived among us. I pray that God would enlighten your understanding, as you may be my spiritual sibling, and just not know it, yet.

@w96725 I'm sorry, I'm not meaning this in a rude way. but what are you talking about?

[huntmatuk]

I still can't believe that people still believe this nonsense...

@binarysolo2 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; there is not one doing good.

Psa 53:2 God looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind to see if any was discerning, who was seeking God.

Psa 53:3 Every one has turned away; they have altogether become filthy; not one is doing good, no, not even one.

Suits and ties and seminars are not the answer! What is emerging in the church today has come from this! Fine words and speeches are nothing with out our blood in it! Without the bloody sacrifice a Christian talk is always very dead.

@reformedman Could you post where you got some good tracts from? I have yet to get any and it would really help a brother. Thank you, God Bless--lpbl2004

[reformedman]

@asuzette I just finished passing out some tracts at the new department that I moved into on my night shift this evening. I got the tracts from a good reformed church in NJ. If you call them I am sure they would be glad to mail them to you. I will send you the info by pm.

[asuzette]

@2corinthians710 burdened for such things too but my problem is finding the best tracts.... this is what prevents me presently. Finding the right materials which present the undiluted saving gospel....

[coachtaskmaster]

@binarysolo2 ipso-facto dismissals will not do. Your' response is sound and fury, with no substance. If you claim to value reason, you'll have to do better than that.

[binarysolo2]

god is fake...none of this matters, just stories.
