With a “gutless orthodoxy,”
Christians today quickly affirm
biblical truth regarding evangelism and
mission, but, author Jeremy Walker
reminds us, “we cannot pretend that we
know and believe the truth about men,
souls, heaven, hell, and salvation
unless it is making a difference in the
way we think, feel, pray, speak, and
act.” How do Christians develop this
sense of urgency to see lost sinners
saved? What motivates our evangelism?
We must have the character of the
brokenhearted evangelist, the David of
Psalm 51, who recognizes the greatness
of his own sin, looks to God for
forgiveness, then recognizes his
undeniable obligation to teach
transgressors God’s ways. In an
engaging style and with pastoral
warmth, Walker urges Christians to
exercise their obligation and privilege
to teach transgressors God’s ways,
providing both spiritual truth and
practical guidance for carrying out
this necessary gospel duty.
