evengelism?
Even to this day I still hold a special place in my heart for Five Iron Frenzy... Here's a bit from a recent interview I just read with lead singer Reese Roper and its something ive been saying for a LONG time! I have always felt that there are two types of people i HATE in this world. Evangelical Christians, and Evangelical Atheists. Both are as bad as the other and if more christians had the view of Reese then the word of god would spread naturally.

How can Christians best reach out to those in the music scene and spread the Gospel without being to preachy or cheesy?
I think that if we follow in the path of Christ, and love the world- actually LOVE people, there is no need to spread the Gospel or preach to people. He spoke to people who were willing to listen, people that He had served beforehand because He loved them. If you actually care about the people in the music scene, the things you do out of love will come naturally. It’s the same things you do with your friends and family. That is all God asks of us. We aren’t the Holy Spirit. I don’t think we are responsible for the salvation of six billion people. But I do think that we are responsible to not just keep the love that God has shown us inside. If we are faithful with that, if we truly love other people, they will see it. That love is infectious. It drew us all to find out who Christ was and the truth about His gospel. It still works that way, no matter how flashy you package it.
