I think it's appropriate to use all levels of media, (TV, Internet, Phone, Mail) to get out the message of Jesus Christ.

Research shows that these media work! That is why companies will pay more than million dollars for a 30 second commercial during the superbowl.

Yeah I know you were just kidding. I don't know why I pushed reply to your message- just habit I guess.

Have a nice day.

Here's a sobering thought... if they tried to reach their world with the means they had... how much more are we on the hook with all the ways and means we have?

To my knowledge, they didn't us any means other than preaching the gospel to reach their world. The bible is primarily letters to saints, not an outreach tool to sinners.

The fact that that 120 could go and turn a city with a very large population upside down lets me know that our FEEBLE attempts to evangelize our cities is lacking something.

Anyway, I see KH's letter basically calling these men "not of God" a little sad.

My point was we've got a great responsibility with the use of planes and automobiles and internet simulcasting to reach the Lost... no excuses that we only had our feet...
I'm not sure what you thought I meant... but the above is what I meant.

About the letter writing... you said people should stop writing letters... so I said... Paul and Peter wrote many.. to the saints..as you yourself said... my point exactly. Nothing wrong with ministers writing letters as they see fit.

Yes.. Ferd.. it's all good. When StMatt wrote this I decided to respond because it's my leadership and some good men of God who have written letters that were well meaning, and called for during this time in our particular organization.

I had written with a light heart until my last post... in which I felt StMatt was misunderstanding my point and that I should probably make it completely clear.

My statement that we have a more ways and means and no excuses for not reaching our world was not aimed at anyone in particular but to us all.. it was off topic with letter writing thread/theme... but it came to my mind when someone mentioned that we now have internet, phones, etc.
