Deathly Evangelism

reverend ronald f. marshall || Abstract - "Most evangelism these days is way short on the wisdom of Jesus." Rev. Marshall is convinced that this shortage is intentional, an unconscionable exercise in false and deceptive advertising. The new, phony, soft, comfortable gospel which is now frequently offered in American churches may fill the pews but will not endure. Only the real Gospel, the hard Gospel, the Gospel with sharp edges can actually bring souls into Christ's kingdom and give them true Christian joy and certainty.
