“Four Reasons Not to Give an Altar Call” on SermonCentral.com |
|
A recent article published in Christiantiy Today caught our attention. It states, “The mainline American churches up until the middle of the last century held in healthy missional balance social action and evangelism. But slowly the evangelistic mandate got squeezed out. A myopic concern for the social undermined the church’s spiritual mission. This has led to spiritual decline, from shrinking membership to a loss of spiritual vitality to faddish theology.”*
That’s the reason behind Dr. Moyer’s featured article in Sermon Central this week – Four Reasons Not to Give an Altar Call. While targeted to preachers, this article contains some great truths for anyone about asking someone to trust in Jesus Christ. He’s written several articles in the last year for Sermon Central and this one has already generated a lot of response.
