Gather It Up into a Memory

Just…AMEN. We try to use emotional blackmail to reach people for Christ, and we wonder then why they “leave Christ” as soon as the emotion fades. Sentimentalism is why we record gaudy “conversion” numbers in VBS, at county fair outreaches, and at Billy Graham crusades, and then we’re all puzzled why all those new brothers in Christ show up as empty pews.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
