Evangelicals vs. Evangelism
I beg forgiveness but it would appear that most church are more concerned about fulfilling their “quota” on evangelising to other non-believers. And when occassion rises, they skirt around issues involving other beliefs. At times, they may resort to insensitive remarks. Some avoid interactions with non-believers. It is acceptable that an average Christian may not know much about apologetics (neither do I) or some high level insights into anthropology or comparative religion studies, but there is certainly no harm to engage in a healthy friendship. So, it is perhaps safe to presume that most “Christians” are merely church practitioners. The label of Christians hardly fit them in terms of principles and attitudes.
Evangelism is not about preaching to own family members or the Joe and Jill staying next door, just because they invite you to their kids’ birthday parties every year and of course, as long as they do not park their vehicles in front of your gates or entrance. Sad to say, this is what most of church goers set out to do for the rest of their lives – which is an awful lot of evangelical activity considering that an average family has less than five (5) members in most blood-sucking capitalist nations and socialistic nation with explosive population.
And you wonder why evangelism is not growing at an exponential rate. Go figure.
