I am sickened by our lame gospel presentations. We must recover this idea that God is a King who "summons" His people.....and when He does they must bow their knee. I don't want to be overly critical concerning the average lay person who is genuinely evangelistic and come crashing into their world with rants and raves about putting this language away from us. We must disciple our people according to the Word...and show grace to those who the church has failed. To hear those who are the "learned" among us, however, use this terminology is what upsets me. Thank you Dr. MacArthur for the books!!
