Baptists go door-to-door 'planting seeds' [View All]

[The Straight Story]

The reason I am putting this in politics is this thought I had on it all:

This quote from the article: "Do you mind if I share with you what the Bible tells us about that?" Larry Atkins asked.

Maybe we need to get the constitution and other such documents into a simple booklet format, go door to door, and plant seeds with people.

"What do you think about the war in Iraq, do you mind if I show you what our constitution (et al, might want a nice title for all the docs together in one booklet) says about that?"

I dunno, just a thought.


Baptists go door-to-door 'planting seeds'

PLEASANT VIEW — With Bibles and church fliers in their hands, David Simmerman, Larry Atkins, Micah Atkins and Jodie Upchurch hit a 100-home subdivision here yesterday to tell people about Jesus.

Before they ventured out into the neighborhood in this Cheatham County town, though, they said it didn't matter how many people listened to their message.


"It's not so much a business quota of getting 30 people saved," said Simmerman, associate pastor at First Baptist Church Joelton, which commissioned about 60 volunteers to Crossover, the door-to-door outreach effort on the weekend before the Southern Baptist Convention that is designed to evangelize people in the host city area.

"The fact that we go out is a success because we're doing what the Scriptures tell us. What we're going to be doing today is planting seeds."
