A man walks out of a bar onto the sidewalk, sees someone he knows across the street and calls his friend to join him for a drink... nobody complains. A man comes from a church and stands on the sidewalk calling men to join them in a drink of the living water... you see the reaction.

A sign is placed on the sidewalk advertising some drink, club, band, etc... Far from causing a stir, it generates business. A man stands on the street holding a sign that advertises Jesus Christ, salvation from sin, eternal life, etc... the man is assaulted.

A man stands on the sidewalk handing out coupons for drinks at a certain bar... They are enthusiastically received by many, who then use them to get half off their evening of pleasure. A man stands on the sidewalk handing out tracts telling of salvation FREELY offered... Men Slander and criticize him for being too proactive.

Now, you tell me, is the problem here with the method? Or is it the message?
