Altar Calls

"Unless we challenge our hearers to respond to God’s Word, we’ve only given them biblical information without telling them what to do with it . . . . Whether you prefer the term 'response' or 'invitation,' consider 5 ways to help your listeners respond to the Word." - Chuck Lawless

"The success rate of genuine conversions at crusades hovers between 5% to 15%. Some may argue, 'But seeds are planted.' Yes, seeds are planted, but are they seeds of salvation or seeds of false assurance?"

I believe that this particular man-made practice, this 19th-century innovation, has produced more bad than good for Christian churches in the West.
