the hardships that the Lord has brought you through? Does handing out a hundred papers a
day really bring anyone closer to surrendering to the Holy Spirit? I believe it had a niche in
the spreading of the Gospel before the technology of phones and internet took over. But, that
type of general broadcasting of the Good News is past its prime, and the only people to still
use it is those with no real knowledge of current technology. Just like we no longer use horses
and buggies to travel around, we have outgrown the some of the old ways of sharing
Scriptures.
People have more access to the written Word today, more than ever before. But, what they
want to hear is our personal stories. They want to know how to get through hardships, how
to depend on God for everything, and how to make Godly decisions.That’s hard to get from a
snippet of paper. We need to talk to people, and by our conversations, they will be won over.
