Description

For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you. (1 Thessalonians 1:8).
Many church leaders tell us that open air evangelism in the form of
preaching or door-to-door evangelism is outdated, that it no longer
works because people are post-modern, because people no longer care
about heaven and hell, and that promising or warning them of such
things means nothing to them. We are told, therefore, that we must
engage in lengthy 'friendship' evangelism so that lost friends will feel
comfortable with us. We will also need to use apologetics to convince
people of the validity of Christ and his gospel. It seems, therefore, that
many of our churches see very few professions of faith and true
conversion. It seems that many of our Reformed churches are very
weak on evangelistic outreach.
