Free leaflets
Apparently, a bloke stood outside Oxford Circus the other week (maybe the other month) and handed out leaflets to hundreds of passers by. Most were either dropped or chucked in the bin. A few were read - and the even fewer people followed what was written, i.e. go round the corner, knock on the door and pick up your free fiver.
So, most people ignored the free gift, 'cos they thought they were being passed junk.
I wonder what you and I have ignored over the years. Try these words for example - which were on a leaflet once that I picked up: "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again."
