When you are going door-to-door do you cut across people\u2019s lawns or do you always stick to the sidewalks and driveways? I\u2019ve heard both sides from people I know and love. Personally\u00a0 I feel that the principle of \u201cgive none\u00a0<b>occasion to the adversary<\/b>\u00a0to speak reproachfully\u201d (1 Timothy 5:14) is applicable. Basically we ought to avoid anything that gives people an\u00a0 excuse to be diverted from or reject God\u2019s good news. Why make them mad about their lawn being trampled or their privacy shattered when it isn\u2019t necessary? Sure it takes longer but the exercise helps. What is your sense of what the Lord wants in this circumstance?<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bibletruthpublishers.com\/evangelism\/?p=218&amp;wp_email=1\" title=\"Email This Post\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-EmailIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/bibletruthpublishers.com\/evangelism\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-email\/images\/email_famfamfam.png\" alt=\"Email This Post\" title=\"Email This Post\" style=\"border: 0px;\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bibletruthpublishers.com\/evangelism\/?p=218&amp;wp_email=1\" title=\"Email This Post\" rel=\"nofollow\">Email This Post<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0love to hear what you think on this subject.
