They practice what the rest of us preach. We decry their lack of emphasis on prayer, but they pray more than we do. Of course, this is only logical, since front-line warriors need more divine aid and protection than the average pew potato. We piously declare that preaching the gospel is our only priority, yet these activists often witness to more unsaved people in a day than many of us do in a year. This also is logical since there are a lot more sinners out in the streets during the week than there are sitting next to our dedicated pew-crews on Sunday morning.
