Evangelisim

Interestingly we got a bit of Christian spam in our letterbox the other day, it looked like the whole neighbourhood got one.
I cringed as I read it. Repent Repent blah blah blah, Sodom homosexuals hell etc etc. As a Christian I couldn't help but feel ill and embarrassed. The sad thing there was not an address, phone number any contact from who dropped it off. Perplexing really, to embarrassed maybe?! There are four churches on the island a Pentecostal, Baptist, Uniting and Anglican. I don't think this would have been sanctioned by any of them.

I think there is a place for the mail drop off, but it has to be sensitive. An invitation that is welcoming, warm.
The sort of stuff I read just irritates people. If the aim is to draw people to Jesus, it does the opposite pushes them away.

Facebook :: 2

After the first post regarding my facebook, there has been culling. Those who I've never really had a real conversation and only wanted to befriend me to push stuff on my wall are gone...

The other thing that I have done thanks to the tip from Ruth is filter. Her comment::

"One great thing you can do now is select 'hide' on contacts or options you're sick of seeing all the time ;) My wall/notifications page is much less crowded now and I generally only see the updates about people I want to know about!"

I have people who are real friends yet, for a better word thrust upon my wall 'Christian Spam'. Unfortunaltely if they put anything up other than the 'Christian Spam' I wont be able to read it. But on the bright side I can still look them up if need to.
