Street Preaching
Is street preaching a worthwhile practice? Should one engage in this practice vs. say, one on one witnessing? Or should one do both? What about restrictions on who should preach on the street (married, single, long time christians, etc.) Whad'ya think?

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! |
Preaching "on the street" is really the oldest form of preaching there is. It is probably better termed "public preaching", for it consists of taking the word of God to the public (masses, perhaps), and outside the four walls of today's churches.
Be certain not the form an opinion of the practice based on videos you might find online. Most of them are posted for their entertainment value and do not give a true image of the biblical practice. Instead, search the scriptures. Just to get you started, consider where Enoch would have been found preaching his sermon found in the epistle of Jude. Run through the whole Book, and you'll find that they were all "taking it to the streets." Jer 11:6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. |
It really grieves my heart to see that this is a dying form of preaching (dying, as in not practiced as much as it used to be)....and it's a shame that more CHRISTians (especially in bigger cities) don't practice it, and that more preachers don't disciple their flocks and equip them for street preaching!
