Read MoreToilet Paper Evangelism?
“Here is a roll of toilet paper . . . and a gospel tract.” Imagine how that would have sounded two months ago. I would have considered it irreverent. Now it doesn’t seem that outrageous at all. In fact, that is just what some of our church members did this week. We did not organize…
