P.S. If Satan is reading this, there are some of us who will not make excuses, and we will not bow.

I don't shy away from talking to strangers, Corinth.
And definitely there have been some won that way. It doesn't seem to be the most effective
form of evangelism, though. Especially today when people are suspicious of anyone coming to their door.
I was brought up in the home of a pastor who made it a point to reach out to the lowest of low, the drunks, the drug addicts, the poor, the dirty, the homeless, the transients, ex-cons....I was taught how to love sinners by one of the best. He didn't just knock on doors and teach Bible studies (he did do that, btw), but he formed
real relationships with people no one else cared about--and other churches often didn't want because they weren't big tithes payers.
Maybe if God has been talking to you about this matter, it's because He needed to, well, talk to YOU about it. If you've feeling convicted about being online because you do it to the point that you neglect other priorities, then do something about it, but don't assume everyone else online acts the same way.
