What did Jesus call us to? Get people to a decision… or call on us to follow him?
Scot McKnight is highlighting this powerfully in his book, The King Jesus Gospel, but Dallas Willard was doing so before. And for some reason… we’re still not paying attention.
I was in a very uncomfortable conversation yesterday because it revolved around the issue of just getting people to a decision and then let whatever happen after that.
This post helps explain my thoughts much better. Then, this thought:
The soterian gospel is aimed at a decision; the missional approach at a radical change in life. One creates the saved, the other creates kingdom people. The crying need today is an evangelism strategy that focuses on the latter and says good-bye to the former.
Let HIS Kingdom come… and let’s quit our counting game.
