It's hard to believe there are Americans who wouldn't even know what was in the New Testament....that he thought Psalms was in there. But I'm sure that's more common than I think, living in the south.

Sister, in our Bible studies here in Fort Lauderdale we find the regular Joe on the street. Some who couldn't find the book of Genesis.
Now I was being sarcastic by saying that but it's the truth that not many people know what's in the pages of the book. We have a lot of work to do right here in America.
Especially in the cities of America, we need to pound the pavement and try our hardest to be available to answer questions. Now when I'm in Barnes and Noble or in front of Whole Foods Market, I cannot not proselytize, because if I do I would be removed. The first two years they watched me like a hawk. I have already out lived three different store managers at Barnes and Noble.
I have had four times that managers talked to me about my purpose their and told me to make sure I DON'T proselytize. I had some individuals who were ex-Pentecostals recently try to cause a problem during a Bible study, but I very firmly corrected the situation and finished the Bible study without a hassle.
We are now going into our third year and hoping to see a great harvest, I feel we have proven ourselves to those who have been watching us and using a magnifier to do it.
We must always be consistent in front of everyone who lives around us, we can't miss a beat. Because there are those who are just waiting to say "I thought as much, you Christians are all alike, a bunch of phoney losers."
2009 to 2010 may be some good years for the apostolics.
