What comes to mind when you think of street preachers, street evangelism, etc.? What do you think most Christians think of these things? For many in the Church these ideas bring to mind images of crazed arrogant people with a bullhorn and a few large signs with Bible verses on them. They imagine the presentation of such evangelism to be centered on external sins and even irrelevant issues (fornication, smoking, drinking, etc.) with a minor mention of Jesus if any. The phrases “turn or burn” or “hellfire and brimstone” may come to mind. These stereotypes are understandable. These people do exist and do head out to the streets and the front of concerts every weekend.

you hear statements like "God is angry with the wicked every day…” –Psalm 7:11This is true. This is Scripture. What was missing however was the other side of the story… the grace of the gospel. While these people have good intentions and seem to miss the mark we can’t judge all of it and say it’s wrong or that only some people are gifted for street evangelism. Anyone can do this and it will be a rewarding experience that will challenge your personality and perceptions. We can correct this stereotype without ignoring both the truth and the grace of the gospel and do so in an attitude of earnest loving concern for souls.


how do you view street preachers ?

The true ones (not the white garment ones) are true obedient servants of God and shall be heavily rewarded for it at the end.They accomplish the very heart beat of God which is EVANGELISM.They do the very same thing true pastors do on pulpits which is calling sinners to repentance.The word of God is not stereotyped & can never become old.The preaching against sin can never be stereotyped.The word of God preaches against sin from genesis to rvelation & still does till today. Jesus was a street preacher too.You hate street preachers u hate God.
