Evangelism and the Law of God

A few days ago this article appeared on the Arminian Today blog site. It is an excellent explanation of the importance of using the Law of God in the process of evangelism. Much of today's "evangelism" follows the procedure laid out at the head of the article and the "pray a prayer" step never seems to include any time to allow the Holy Spirit to convict the person of sin.

Reading this article could go a long way to explaining why we have so many "Christians" who live as if they belonged to a club (like Rotary with less obligations). This is an encouraging sign that there are those who are not of the Reformed camp who see the necessity of preaching the Law if people are to be born again. What's that you say? There are Reformed congregations who use the steps outlined at the beginning of the article? Surely not!!

Maybe this article should "stir us to jealousy" to whom God has granted the "oracles of God, and the Law ..."
