oh man, it's so much easier to toss away flyers for churches than deal with people preaching to you at school. please leave the rest of us all. There isn't a person in America who isn't painfully aware of how fanatics love jesus. Just let us be, and stop talking about how much you love invisible sky wizards with magic powers.

Mark:

I'm so sorry this came across that way. This is intended to explain how Christians ought to live out the best of the church wherever they are -- compassion, justice, love, Jesus. This is not advocating the random accosting of strangers in order that they might be told a story. In fact, though it may not have been clear enough, it's quite the opposite. The whole concept is predicated on pre-existing friendship relationships where faith and life already naturally intersect.

Actually, you can accomplish both. I think Mars Hill Bible Church under Mark Driscoll is doing both. But I think we have relied on attractional/invitational for too long. We have failed to be missional, so we need to rediscover what that is all about.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16

@ryanellis000 Jesus specifically says in the Bible that his followers will be known by their love for others, that is: by the way they live their lives in the service of others. John 13:35, look it up.

Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."

Many Christians want to believe so badly they will ignore scientific evidence, reason, common sense and their own better judgment. Religions have perverted the meaning of the word "truth." The Websters Dictionary definition says what the word means: truth: "being in accord with fact or reality" - Search for "Church of Innerspace" in Google and read what it says. It is not what you think it is.
