Bad evangelism says: I'm right, you're wrong, and I would love to tell you about it

Truth is more important, freedom is more complex, and Jesus is more liberating than you think.

Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.

If you can't show the difference between religion and the Gospel, people will confuse morality with a changed heart

Unless we believe the gospel, we will be driven in all we do-whether obeying or disobeying-by pride ('self-love') or fear ('of damnation'). Apart from 'grateful remembering' of the gospel, all good works are done then for sinful motives. Mere moral effort may restrain the heart, but does not truly change the heart. Moral effort merely 'jury rigs' the evil of the heart to produce moral behavior out of self-interest. It is only a matter of time before such a thin tissue collapses.

Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.

Only on the cross do you have a totally holy God and a totally loving God.
