greetings,
I like the article, but I c ouldn’t disagree more with the idea that any Christian,whether you call them evangelical or by any other title needs to move away from preaching the gospel and bringing others to Christ. The #1 thing that we can do to glorify God, is to bring more people to God, and we were created to glorify God. Once you have received the forgiveness that comes from accepting Christ, the gratitude and peace that comes from it naturally overflows in a desire to bring others to God, and if anything we should be encouraging people to rise up out of a catatonic Christian state, and preach the gospel MORE. It is one thing to say we should live in such a way where our daily living honors God, but evangelizing is INDEED at the core of everything that Jesus taught, and should be at the core of our lives as well. It disturbs me to hear “I don’t need to speak the name Christ, my witness is my life”, well if people see you operating with integrity and Godliness, but do not know WHO changed your heart so you would act so differently than everyone else, what good is it? People are not going to flock to you asking you what makes you so different, yes people notice integrity and character because they are rare, but people need to know why and how we can conduct our lives with integrity and character, and His name is Jesus.

Jason, thanks for this well thought-out response. I ran into this article on a magazine rack, looked over it, and had the same uneasy response in my mind. You’ve very succinctly and eloquently drawn out the thoughts that were bouncing around in my head.

Jason, never a sports fan myself, I rather enjoyed your post, especially your final paragraph.

I added a NY times article I posted to my facebook last week. I took the other side though…anti MMA.
