Kevin, we are talking about two different things. I certainly do more teaching house to house than I do preaching publicly. This house to house thing in this passage deals with the discipling process of basically having home church. I do not see it as going out like a door to door salesman ringing door bells and sharing the gospel. Again, I am not against that. If you do it, fine. I may sometime in the future do it again. What I was trying to say is that my time is limited and if I have a four hour block of time to give to evangelism, and the choice is door to door bell ringing or standing in a public area and preaching Christ, I will choose the preaching. Why? Because it is much more effective. It is a better use of my time. The truth is that as I look back, it has been many years since I have gone door to door witnessing. I guess I find it rather intrusive into the private lives of others. I did the door to door thing for many years and have logged thousands of hours doing it. I only wish I had discovered public preaching back then. I simply did not have the nerve for it nor knew that it was acceptable. There were no role models for me back then. I never knew a street preacher nor had I ever seen one until after I had graduated from high school. Even after I met my first street preacher, I did not have the confidence to ever try preaching. It took me many years before I took up the courage to do it. Peace be with you.
