You know those guys that stand on the side of the street with signs about God? They are called street preachers. I understand that they are making a stand for what they believe, and I respect that, but I'm not sure what their objective is. I wonder how many people have been driving along and saw a man at the corner of the street with a sign and decided right then to accept the Lord. According to the Bible, Jesus said, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." Luke 14:23. I'm not sure that this proclomation was literal. If it was, things are so different now that I'm not sure it is having the intended affect. Also, sometimes what the signs say (like in this picture) the preaching is having the opposite effect and turning people away from God. This poster against homosexual marriages is very offensive to many people. I think these instant attacks are more of a turn off than a promotion.
