There are people that stay home almost all the time. Yes, they go to work. Yes, they go to Walmart or Target once a week. They stop for take out on the way home. Once they are home, they stay home.
You see, at their house they have a room with a 52 inch smart flat panel TV, a surround sound home theater system, subdued lighting, and very comfortable seating. They have cable or direct TV and high speed Internet access.
They come home and turn on the TV, turn up the sound, and there they stay until they fall asleep then wander into the bedroom or not.
They are what I call modern day hermits.
So tell me friends, how will the church ever reach these people for Christ? You can't go and knock on their door -- the sounds too loud for them to hear you. Besides what church knocks on doors anymore?
You can't call them -- their number is unlisted and/or they only have cell numbers so they aren't in the book.
The only way is to witness to them is at work. So if you hear that your co-worker watches movies all the time, then this is the moment. You are probably the only person who can witness to this modern day hermit.
So take a deep breath and go for it!
