Drive By Evangelism

In the book I am currently reading, Postmodern Youth Ministry by Tony Jones, there is an interesting section on the history of evangelism. Tony writes about the cover of a book, The Mind Changers. "... a Crusader sits atop his horse with a huge cross emblazoned on his chest. He holds a spear, the point of which rests right above the chest of an infidel who is lying on his back at the horse's feet. Looking up, the infidel says, "Tell me more about this Christianity of yours. I'm terribly interested."

This freakin cracks me up. But sadly it's not simply for the entertainment value. I laugh because it is the only defense mechanism against weeping that I have when I think about all the lives that have been pushed away from the Lord because of the way people have framed the painting of the gospel. For some crazy thoughts, go watch this video titled "Man on the Street".

Before I jump into this topic, what do y'all think?
