Inadequate Gospel = No Gospel at all...
One of the most important questions we ask professing Christians deals with how they share the Gospel. Considering that only an estimated 2% of professing American Christians share the Gospel with strangers....what exactly are they sharing? What are you sharing? Are you sharing at all? We believe that the majority of Christians in America are ignorant of key components of Gospel proclamation. (For you pastors, that means in the neighborhood of 98% of your congregation and leadership team.)
Well, in the video snippet below John MacArthur covers a popular selling book (a book that many of you might own) that has an inadequate Gospel presentation. We would assume that 99% truth is a 100% lie. He covers a book that has, for the most part, shaped the theology of man, many, many Christians. **understatement**
So what is the book...what are the components that are missing...and more importantly are you sharing the Gospel according to the guy who wrote the book?
Watch below to find out.
For more information on how to share they Gospel accurately and have all of the components, please go through our self-paced training pages.

Are you guilty of depraved indifference?
Depraved Indifference Law and Legal Definition
To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.

From a teaching series on CrossTV called Does the Truth Matter Anymore? Here are a few snippets of the video. In the clips below Pastor MacArthur addresses the issue of pragmatism in ministry. If you don't know what this is or if you are wondering if your church implores pragmatic ministry, you will soon see that this modern wordly philosophy has infiltrated most of the evangelilcal church today.
Any of you involved in ministry should watch this a seriously consider what is being said.
