- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. So why would I do open air evangelism?
- 00:18
- Well, like I said, I went down to the Mormon pageant down there in Manti, Utah this year because we were debuting a new book,
- 00:27
- Sharing the Good News with Mormons. And my topic in that book was about open air evangelism. There's 24 authors to that book, all covering a different way to share the gospel with Mormons.
- 00:37
- And we get to go down to Manti and see many of those in effect. My technique, my style of evangelism when
- 00:45
- I go there is to hand out gospel tracts, try to start one -on -one conversations, but I mostly try to do a lot of open air evangelism.
- 00:53
- And you can hear my voice is weak because of it, so sorry about that. But I do that because I can often get a larger crowd of people who won't stop and talk to people, but want to defend their religious beliefs.
- 01:06
- In fact, I encourage them to do that. Their book says they should be preaching to me on the streets, and so I encourage them to do that.
- 01:14
- They think I'm there to protest, and I'm not. I'm there to do exactly what they do when they come knocking on people's doors.
- 01:20
- I go there to share the truth with them because they need to hear it. I understand that I disagree with the
- 01:27
- Mormons. They disagree with me. They think they have a restored gospel, and I somehow have a gospel that fell away, that was corrupted.
- 01:35
- And because of that, it needed Joseph Smith and the Latter -day Saint Church. But the reality is
- 01:41
- I go down there in open air so I can reach as many people as I can with the gospel. People who won't stop and talk, but still hear the gospel explained and proclaimed.
