The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "Present Day Evangelism" - A.W. Pink

Most of the so-called evangelism of our day is a grief to genuine Christians, for they feel that it lacks any scriptural warrant, that it is dishonoring unto God, and that it is filling the churches with empty professors. They are shocked that so much frothy superficiality, fleshly excitement and worldly allurement should be associated with the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They deplore the cheapening of the Gospel, the beguiling of unwary souls, and the carnalizing and commercializing of what is to them ineffably sacred. It requires little spiritual discernment to perceive that the evangelistic activities of Christendom during the last century have steadily deteriorated from bad to worse, yet few appear to realize the root from which this evil has sprung. It will now be our endeavor to expose the same. Its aim was wrong, and therefore its fruit faulty.

This article is a true Classic and one which has been around for many years. In fact, I have handed out hundreds of copies this tract but it never dawned on me, after being reminded by a good friend, that it wasn't online on The Highway. That oversight has now been corrected.

Perhaps this article is even more relevant now than it was during the time that Pink penned it. The proliferation of false gospels, spurious methods based upon pragmatism, post-modernism, seeker-friendly ideas, etc. is rampant. Pink offers a solid critique of these unacceptable and unbiblical elements in his own typical style.
