How evangelistic are we, really?
By Jeremy | June 26, 2005
From "A Voice in a Crowded Wilderness," NY Times (06/26/05). I'm not sure what qualifies the Times to write this, but it's worth considering."Indeed, most of those who come to hear Mr. Graham preach are already born-again Christians. Some may be 'backslid' in their faith or fighting drugs, but it is seldom the hardened sinner or the urban atheist who rises when Mr. Graham calls the folks forward to make a personal 'decision for Christ.' Typically, those who file down the aisles at a Graham crusade do so as a ritual of recommitment. It is a correction of one's compass, rarely a wholesale change of life."
