You obviously must do whatever you hear the Lord telling YOU to do.

Open questions to all regarding street preaching: Would it be better for a stree preacher to 1) stand on a corner in SLC during GC quitely speaking only to those who will listen, and cause none to convert from this pagan religion, or 2) yell through a bulhorn, wave underware, or whatever and cause one to convert? Which do you think God would prefer? I feel confident that many methods have been tried, and people generally stick to what works best for them. Besides, one can never know when one little thing that one says is the proverbial straw that causes another to question their beliefs enough to see the truth. They may have heard the same thing 99 times before, and 100th time it makes sense to them. What if there had been no preacher there to say it that 100th time? We can never do or say enough. We must always say it that 100th time. Or the 101st time. Or the 1001st time.
