in Jesus - Post It Notes on The Fuse
Guys, is this developing relationships with people? Is this any different from handing out tracts to strangers on the street?

Paul said GET THE NAME OF JESUS OUT THERE! Why? Because it has power. Have people been saved with tracts? Can God use a stupid post it note? We give ourselves way too much power when we decide the most effective way to introduce Jesus to others.

I get what you're saying, but God can do anything with anything:
"For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe...Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men......God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong," (1 Cor 1:21,25, 27)
I know people in our generation who street preachers reached. God is way bigger than our methods, because he is WAY more in love with the people we're trying to "get saved" than even we are.
Besides, can YOU develop a relationship with every single person out there who needs Jesus? Did Peter? DId Paul?
Nope. Only God can - that's the point. So the Apostles preached, and they were laughed at, reviled, persecuted... and the Church was born.
